Wiki.
Speed Racer: The Next Generation is an animated television series based on the classic Japanese Speed Racer franchise, in which the internal events take place decades after those in the 1967 Japanese series. It is the fourth television adaptation of the franchise, and is executive produced by Lions Gate Entertainment, Larry Schwarz, and Ken Katsumoto. Animation Collective produced the series, while the Flash character animation was handled by the now-defunct Collideascope Studios as their last project. It aired on Nicktoons in the United States. The last episode of Season 1 features the voice of NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon, who voices Turbo McCalister.
This series was partly made to promote the live-action film, and the pilot movie premiered on Nicktoons on May 2, 2008, a week before the feature film adaptation was released in theatres. However, both projects were produced independently from one another and featured different generations of "Speed Racers" (with the film featuring the original generation), though both featured a Mach 6. Five three-part specials aired on Nickelodeon from March 14, 2009 to April 11, 2009.
