"Thousands of years ago, an advanced race of beings called Accelerons built an amazing network of speedways that wrapped around the world. When disaster struck, they hid these twisting, looping roads in another dimension, and left their powerful legacy at their furthest reaches.
Now eccentric scientist Peter Tezla has discovered the road, dubbing it Highway 35. Unable to navigate the road himself, Tezla has assembled thirty-five of the world's greatest drivers, granted them super-powered race cars and offered them millions to be the first to cross the finish line. Once there, the driver would retrieve the Wheel of Power, an energy source so potent, it could solve the international energy crisis. Winning will not only require Speed, Power, Performance and Attitude - these racers will also have to outmanoeuvre the mysterious, dark outlaw, Racer Zed-36, who is trying to sabotage the race!
With enemies on their tail and an epic odyssey filled with danger to complete, the drivers will need all their skills to blast their way through the World Race's five incredible terrains: fiery volcanos, immense jungles, sweeping deserts, icy oceans and the spectacular Hot Wheels City. What is the ultimate secret at the end of Highway 35? The only way to learn is to win! Only in Hot Wheels City will the ultimate mystery of Highway 35 be revealed." -[From Mainframeusa.com]
