The film took place two years after the events of the Hot Wheels: World Race film and followed Dr. Peter Tezla, biological son of Nikola Tesla, and his continued research into an ancient race of aliens called the Accelerons[1]. After new discoveries and struggles over the Wheel of Power, he recruited several Teku[2] and Metal Maniacs[3] racing gang members alongside former World Race drivers for competition against a violent Racing Drone[4] army and unknown Silencerz[5] squadron in an attempt to obtain and protect as many Accele-Charger[6] artifacts from inter-dimensional Racing Realms possible.
