Fans of the Speed Racer cartoon series are probably familiar with "Racer X." Apparently, he was the long lost brother of Speed Racer and a mysterious secret agent. This Speed Rally game page explains the
background of Racer X.
Since Racer X was an important character in the cartoon series, there are many different Racer X cars. This Johnny Lightning Open Wheel version of the Racer X car is a great looking die-cast car. It has an aggressive stance and the svelte looks of a late 1960s/early 1970s race car.

The car also makes a great model to show off during what is quickly becoming yellow die-cast car week on this blog.

Returning to the Speed Rally game. The idea of a dice-based "war game" based on 1/64-scale diecast cars sounds pretty inspired. It would give adult collectors of Matchbox, Hot Wheels, and Johnny Lightning cars a chance to show off their collections. If you are interested, poke around on the
Speed Rally homepage.

From the rear, this Racer X engine looks like something from a Volkswagen. Could it be Formula V for Racer X?
