"the Son of Speed Racer enters a racing academy for the fastest kids on the Earth and races his Mach 6 (which doesn't run on gas) while teaming up with Racer-X to find out who's behind the mysterious disappearance of their father - and no to forget Spritle, now the headmaster of the racing academy, and the mechanical robot-monkey Chim-Chim."
