Crossing big business can be hazardous to your health as Speed Racer learns when he passes up an irresistable offer to work for Royalton Industries. Top races are being fixed, and only Speed Racer can save the sport - by winning the very race that took his older brother Rex's life - The Crucible.

In order to do that, he'll have to partner with a former rival, Racer X, and compete in the most grueling race the sport has ever seen. Buckle your seatbelt, pilgrim.
