I watch it in this order.

1st Stage - 1st season (26 episodes)

2nd Stage - 2nd season (13 episodes)

Extra Stage - OAV (original animation video, 2 episodes)

3rd Stage - movie

No, if you just watch the movie, you are STILL missing out on a lot of details and the familiarity with the characters and teams. All they did was recap all the previous races, well most of them and somewhat recap the relationship between Takumi and Natsuki. Then again, this is just my opinion.

Battle Stage/4th Stage - Supposedly a re-animation of the previous two seasons, possibly compressed in half the episodes it took before since the animation studio DOES have a budget to work with. Plus they'll animate new episodes, possibly picking up from where they left off after the movie. Plus there will be new Super Eurobeat songs featured in that season.

Super Eurobeat = those techno-ey songs with lame "Engrish" lyrics that you hear during the show. I could go more in depth with what kind of dancing Super Eurobeat goes with besides it being "driving music", but it'll just sound too silly to you guys.
