Story

If you’re a fan of the races, you’ll love Wacky Races! In this animated series inspired by the 1965 movie “The Great Race”, 11 different cars and vehicles race against each other on road rallies. The rallies are spread out over North America, taking the audience to the most incredible places. All the competitors dream of winning the title of the “World’s Wackiest Racer”. Racers include Dick Dastardly, Peter Perfect or Penelope Pitstop, the only female driver.
