Synopsis
The animated series is set in a futuristic universe where various species from across galaxies partake in a popular racing activity known as Scan2Go. This activity involves the use of miniature automated toy cars that race autonomously with the aid of cards that provide power and turbo boosts. Scan2Go is a one-lap sprint race that takes place on expansive tracks where speed and strategic maneuvering are crucial to winning. Racers must navigate various obstacles on the track, some of which can be perilous or tricky. Depending on the rules, Scan2Go races can be either conducted as a team effort or as a free-for-all competition.
The story focuses on a young boy named Kazuya 'Kaz' Gordon and his team called "Team Jet", more formerly known as the "Junior Earth Team". Starting his Scan2Go career from Earth, during which humans aren't fond of the Scan2Go trend yet, he embarks on a journey to become the greatest Scan2Go racer ever. Kaz is only in it to become the best racer in the universe. But he also discovers new friends along his way to glory.
He discovers a strong opponent and his greatest enemy who destroyed the Scan2Go committee named Ryu Kaizel. His aim is to conquer the negative emotions of people and begin destruction of the Universe.
