Sixteen years prior to our story, the legendary Speed Racer vanished. Most believe he is dead, but a few know that he is not...but that's getting ahead of ourselves.
Our story follows the adventures of another young man named Speed, an orphan who dreams of being a famed car racer like the one he is named after. He takes a bus to the elite Racing Academy, founded by the Racer family, and soon experiences the difficulties of fitting in and competing with X, the best racer/student in the school, and Speed Racer's son. Spritle himself is now the headmaster. Speed finds enemies in Annalise, X's girlfriend, and Zile Zazic, the school's esteemed trustee, oil tycoon, and Annalise's father. Speed befriends fellow students Lucy, an obsessive workaholic, and Conor, a geeky Speed Racer fanatic and mechanic. He also befriends Chim-Chim, an all-purpose robot chimpanzee that Conor designed and built himself in honor of the real Chim-Chim. In the pilot movie, Speed discovers that he is another son of Speed Racer, meaning that X is his brother.
Through the story, Speed and his new allies set out on a quest to get through the courses, discover the mystery of Speed Racer's disappearance, and try and build the Mach Six, a car that captures the spirit and gadgets of the Mach 5 for the new generation, and the first car to contain a gasless engine.
Add into that the normal teenage drama of girls, guys, and a bunch of teenagers with fast cars and time to kill, an ordinary goes extraordinary.
