I am – Hercules!!


A “Speed Racer” sequel series, featuring a fast kid in a racing academy who discovers he’s the son of the original Speed Racer, will be roaring toward us on NickToons next year – just in time to capitalize on the Wachowski siblings’ new big-screen version.

And – get this – Speed’s son will also have a long-lost brother who becomes the new Racer X.

The project represents the third attempt to revive Japan’s 1967 “Mach Go Go Go” franchise for the little screen, following 1993's "The New Adventures of Speed Racer" and 2002's "Speed Racer X."
