The video game Hot Wheels: World Race was based on the television series.

It was released on VHS and DVD on December 2, 2003,[3] and was followed by a series of 4 sequel movies, titled Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers (2005).

Drivers race in highly advanced cars by traveling through a portal to another dimension created by aliens called the Accelerons.

Dr. Peter Tezla, founder of the Scrim Corporation, created the competition for human drivers to get to end of the track and retrieve a zero-point energy source called the Wheel of Power.

The racers are split into 5 teams, led by Banjee Castillo (Roadbeasts), Brian Kadeem (Dune Ratz), Taro Kitano (Scorchers), Kurt Wylde (Street Breed), and Vert Wheeler (Wave Rippers).
