Meet Speed Racer's rivals!

A real Japanese racing team…

Ah, product placement. Don’t ya just love it? Us neither usually, but this looks like something cool.

Thanks to a deal, the pedal-pounding rivals that Emile Hirsch’s Speed will be driving against in the Warners’ Speed Racer is an actual Japanese racing team.

And while the Wachowski brothers have plumped for a futuristic, cartoon (and hallucinogen)-fuelled romp, the Autobacs Racing Team Aguri (or ARTA for short), and that participates in the Japanese Super GT series, would seem to fit right in.
