Hey there, Hot Wheels Fans!

It's your favorite reporter

bringing you all the action

from the second

Ultimate Garage Grand Prix Race!

Can Coop win and jump

to the top of the leaderboard?

Or will Cruise get one step closer

to winning the Ultimate Garage?

Stay tuned!

Cruise might have the lead right now,

but she won't win today's race.

I heard somebody say "race."

[fanfare]

What's today's course, Dash?

Great question, Brights.

Squeakers,

please, activate the Track Builder.

[Squeakers beeps]

One lap around the city? Psh. Easy.

Uh, Axle, the race course may look easy,

but watch this

-Cool!

-Whoa!

-Awesome!

-Fascinating!

During the race, the Track Builder

will change the tracks

when you least expect it.

So, you're saying

we could be flipped upside down

or sent flying through the air

at any moment?

[building music]

[all]

Epic!

[laughs] That's right.

And that means, you racers

better be prepared for anything.

But that's not all.

The winner of today's race

will receive five Flame Badges!

If I get first place, I'll be back on top

and in position

to win the Ultimate Garage.

Any one of us could!

Well, whoever it is, it's our job

to make sure it's not Cruise.

If she wins, she's gonna destroy

the Ultimate Garage.

Any one of us winning is better than her.

[all]

Challenge accepted!

[exciting music]

I choose the Mach Speeder!

I choose the Rocketfire!

I choose the Donut dr*fter!

I choose the Tooligan!

I choose the Baja Jump Truck!

I choose the 2-Tuff!

[Cruise] Well, the best racer is me, so

[revs, tires squeal]

There's only one way to find out

who's today's best racer.

Ready, set, Hot Wheels!

Hot Wheels! Let's race! ♪

[engines revving]

[grand music]

Holy hubcaps! The race just started

and it's already amazing!

[intense music]

[tires squealing]

It seems the Ultimate Garage racers

are working together

to keep Cruise in the back of the pack!

Great job, everyone!

If we all stick together,

there's no way Cruise can pass us!

Oh, really? I'll slip around you, easy.

Snake Slither. Activate!

[revs]

Look out! Cruise just slid

into first place!

Not for long. I'll pull Cruise back

with the 2-Tuff!

Super Tow. Activate!

[whirrs]

I don't think so.

My car is as tough as a dragon.

Dragon Forcefield. Activate!

Oh, man, Sidecar missed!

Don't worry, I'll blast past her.

Turbo Launch. Activate!

Go, Hot Wheels!

[Speedy]

Whoa-h*-h*!

Axle is catching up to Cruise

with the Rocketfire!

[vibrating] Whoa, here I come!

You think you're so clever,

but I'm clever-er!

Snake Slither. Activate!

[hisses]

Whoa! Whoa!

Ugh.

Ooh! That sends Axle to the back!

We're at the halfway mark,

and Cruise is still in the lead!

If that's the best you got,

you campers are in a world of trouble.

Huh? What's happening? Whoa!

Heads up, everybody! The Track Builder

is changing up the course!

Remember, a great racer

is always prepared for anything.

[gasps] Racers,

follow me onto the straightaway!

[revving]

It doesn't matter what track

you campers take,

I'm still gonna beat you. Whoa!

Oh, no.

[gasps]

And Cruise just got served

a face full of pizza!

Any way you slice it, she's now in last!

Looks like Cruise should've been

more prepared!

Let's keep it up,

and keep Cruise from winning this race.

Ha! Too bad I'm not gonna lose.

Especially since I have the power

of this car.

Shark Speed. Activate.

[roars]

Just when you thought

it might be over for Cruise,

she blazes down the track

and is back in the race!

Uh, Spark? Should we be worried?

According to my calculations

Yes! Yes, we should!

I'm gonna give you two the slip.

Octopus Ink Blast. Activate!

Aah!

[Brights]

I'm slipping!

[Spark]

I'm sliding!

And I'm passing.

You racers are no match for me!

[blows raspberry]

Thanks to her slippery ink,

Cruise slides into second place!

Looks like it's Camp Champ Coop

versus Cruise in the homestretch!

The finish line! Yes! Cruise can't win.

The race isn't over yet, Coop.

Uh-oh, the tracks are changing again!

[revving]

Oh, no! I'm losing speed.

But I'm not.

Ugh. Come on, Coop.

You shoulda been prepared for that.

Of course the tracks

were gonna change again!

Ugh. I always have to be on my toes!

It's okay, dude. You can still catch up

and get first place!

As long as Cruise doesn't win,

we're in good shape.

[revving]

The tracks have changed again!

Whoever makes these jumps will be

jumping for joy at the finish line!

Hey, Coop, when my dad and I

win the Ultimate Garage,

should we tear it apart fast or slow?

You won't get the chance.

The Ultimate Garage

is where I met my friends,

and there's no way

I'll let you take it from us.

Barrier Blast. Activate!

Go, Hot Wheels!

[whooshes]

Eee!

[Speedy]

Oh, my gas tank!

Coop and the Mach Speeder are

going warp speed and back into the lead!

Better luck next time, Cruise.

But like Dash said,

a Hot Wheels Racer

needs to be prepared for anything!

Oh, yeah? Well, then you

should've been prepared for this!

Soaring Bat. Activate!

[gasps]

[gasps]

-Huh?

-What?

[laughs]

[audience cheering]

[whooshes, dings]

-[horn beeps]

-[Cruise] Woo-hoo!

Yes! Just what I thought!

Victory is mine! Whoo! Ha, ha!

What did I tell ya? Winner!

Looks like the only thing

faster than my driving

is how fast I'm gonna win

the Ultimate Garage!

Oh, time to take a victory lap.

Or maybe I'll take two.

You know, one for each race

I've beat you in!

[revs]

So, we're like totally doomed, right?

I wouldn't say that, Sidecar.

I know you campers

didn't win today's race,

but there's still plenty of time

to climb up the leaderboard.

Dash is right. We're Hot Wheels Racers.

We never give up.

-Yeah!

-I'm with ya!

Now, let's put the pedal to the metal

and train even harder.

We won't let Cruise

win the Ultimate Garage.

[all]

Go, Hot Wheels!

[Speedy] It spins, it has sprinkles,

and it's coming up next!

[racers]

I choose the Donut dr*fter!

Hot Wheels! Let's Race! ♪

[Speedy] Coop is in the lead,

but can he hold on and win this race?

Soaring Bat. Activate!

[exciting music]

[Speedy]

The answer is no!

-She wins today's race

-[laughs]

and the five Flame Badges!

[Cruise]

I won, again! Ha, ha!

You racers will never beat me!

Ugh! I was so close!

I would've beaten Cruise if I was faster.

I could've won if I got bigger air.

Ugh! I zigged when I should have zagged!

All of you have what it takes to win!

And today's challenge is about

practicing new skills. Who's ready?

[all]

Challenge accepted!

[upbeat music]

My skill is speed!

I choose the GT Scorcher!

My skill is getting big air.

I choose the Baja Jump Truck!

My skill is zigging and zagging!

I choose the Rodger Dodger!

My skill is drifting!

I choose the Donut dr*fter!

My skill is power.

I choose the Skull Crusher!

My skill is creativity.

I choose the Street Wiener!

-Huh?

-What?

-[gasps]

-Huh?

-Huh?

-Huh?

Hey, what's going on?

We're not in the cars we picked.

That's 'cause I switched your cars!

Now, you each must drive

through the obstacles

and learn a new skill

before the clock hits zero,

or else no one gets a Flame Badge.

Get set go!

[racers]

Let's race!

[revving]

[exciting music]

If we're gonna win this challenge,

we need to be fast!

Whoa-whoa-whoa!

I went so fast, I spun backwards!

That's how I like to drive!

[chuckles] Wait, you're doing that

on purpose?

You'll get more speed

if you drive the GT Scorcher forward.

But this way is more creative.

[zooms]

Ramp up ahead!

Spark, you can jump over the obstacles!

[Spark]

Thanks for the advice, Mac,

but I'm going to stick

with what I'm good at.

I'll zig and zag around the cones.

And I'll drift past, no problemo!

[laughs] Yes, problemo!

I'm having trouble drifting!

Oh, you can say that again.

[grunts]

[Sidecar]

Whoa!

[Spark]

Whoa, whoa! [grunts]

[gasps] Hit the brakes, Sidecar!

-[tires screeching]

-No, no, no!

I'll make it through this course

with some big air!

Woo-hoo! Uh-oh. Whoa!

[Axle grunts]

Mac! Your car is too heavy for big air.

Power through the cones!

Whoa!

[Brights] Maybe you should

try driving more creatively, Axle!

Whoa! This car-swapping challenge

is way harder than I thought!

Tell me about it!

The timer is halfway gone and

none of us have done a new skill.

If we don't figure this out

before time's up,

nobody wins a Flame Badge!

We can't let that happen.

We need the badges

if we're gonna keep pace

with Cruise on the leaderboard.

We have to go faster!

-Follow me!

-[revs engine]

Coop, with the Donut dr*fter,

speed isn't the answer.

Try drifting!

Don't worry, Sidecar.

With my speed skills, I got this!

-[tires screeching]

-I don't got this!

Aah!

[pizza clatters]

[Coop]

Aah!

Ugh!

Phew. That was close.

I was going so fast,

I almost broke the pizza sign.

I don't know, the sign looks good to me!

Look how well it's rolling

through the city.

Huh?!

[citizens screaming]

[citizen]

Run for your life!

[citizens screaming]

Oh, no! This can't get any worse!

Oh, yes, it can!

If we don't stop the pizza sign,

it will crash into the Ultimate Garage!

Normally, things are better

when they're covered in cheese,

but this isn't one of those times!

We've gotta stop that sign!

[Axle]

We're with ya, Coop!

[tires squealing]

Look! It's getting closer

to the Ultimate Garage!

[Brights] And the obstacle course timer

is almost out!

Not only will we lose the challenge,

but we'll also lose the Ultimate Garage!

[Sidecar]

Maybe I can drift and stop it.

You tried already, Sidecar!

But I haven't. And the Donut dr*fter

is perfect for drifting!

We need to remember

what this challenge is about.

Let's use our cars

and practice new skills!

Coop's right!

Sidecar, you can catch up

to the pizza sign

in the Rodger Dodger

if you zig and zag!

You got it, Spark! Super Slalom. Activate!

[whirrs]

Whoa whoa

[laughing] Oh, yeah! It's working!

New skill. Unlocked!

Great job, Sidecar!

C'mon, everyone.

Practice your new skills!

-Yeah!

-Let's do it!

-Woo-hoo!

-All right!

Spark, your jump doesn't have

to be perfect to catch up.

Just trust your gut and go for big air!

Oh, I can do that!

Baja Bounce. Activate!

[whirrs]

[engine revs]

Whoa!

That was so fun!

I can't wait to use that

in the next race!

I'll practice some Super Speed!

Super Speed Burst. Activate!

[whirrs]

Try and catch up, Axle!

I'll be creative like you, Brights.

If I can't go through the cones,

I'll go under!

Barbecue Backflip. Activate!

[whirrs]

[thwapping]

Woo-hoo! A clear path and

a new skill for the Axe-Man!

Instead of jumping over the obstacles,

I'll try and power through them!

Power Bash. Activate!

[whirrs]

[smashing]

I learned a new skill too!

[intense music]

Coop, we need your help fast

or the Ultimate Garage is gonna be

in deep trouble with extra cheese!

On it!

Time to try some new skills

and drift past that pizza sign!

Sweet Spin. Activate!

-Go, Hot Wheels!

-[whirrs]

[roaring]

[tires screeching]

Let's all work together

to knock the sign away!

[racers]

Yeah, cool!

Woo-hoo!

[straining efforts]

[all racers straining]

[racers cheering]

[thuds]

[dings]

[racers cheering]

[upbeat music]

[tires squeal]

[tires screech]

Woo! We did it!

We stopped the pizza sign and

everyone learned a new skill.

You sure did! And I think you all

learned something important today.

Yep! They really need

to screw that pizza sign on tighter.

[all laugh]

And if we want to beat Cruise in a race,

we need to have more than one skill.

That's right! And because

you all completed today's challenge,

you each get a Flame Badge!

-Yeah!

-Oh, yeah!

-Aw, yeah.

-Nice! [chuckles]

-Oh, yeah!

-Oh, yeah!

Hey, Dash, could we keep working

on our new skills?

I want to take this car out

for another spin.

[chuckles] I love that racing spirit!

Of course, you can. Go, have fun!

-Woo-hoo!

-h*-h*!

Aw, yeah!

-How about some lunch, Squeakers?

-[squeaks]

-I'm good with anything but pizza.

-[squeaks]

-[zooms]

-[chuckles]

[Speedy]

Coming up next,

this dune buggy bounces sky high!

[racers]

I choose the Sandivore!
