Synopsis

After receiving his drivers license on his 16th birthday, Josef "Vert" Wheeler joins the World Race to find the fastest driver in the world. Drivers race in highly advanced cars by traveling through a portal to another dimension created by aliens called the Accelerons. Dr. Peter Tezla, founder of the Scrim Corporation, created the competition for human drivers to get to end of the track and retrieve a zero-point energy source called the Wheel of Power. Will the drivers succeed at returning the Wheel of Power to its rightful spot in Hot Wheels City, or will they let it fall into the hands of Gelorum and her evil robots?

The racers are split into 5 teams, led by Banjee Castillo, Brian Kadeem, Taro Kitano, Kurt Wylde, and Vert Wheeler.
