Future GPX Cyber Formula: Difference between revisions

{{quote|''A computer-based navigation system race machine: the Cyber Formula. It has taken the place of [[Formula One|F1]] as the new race machine of the 21st century, bringing excitement to people all over the world.''|[[Opening Narration]] of the TV series}}

 

 

The story focuses on a 14-year-old named Hayato Kazami, who one day uses a [[Cool Car]] which is equipped with his father's creation, Asurada (the most advanced cyber-navigation system in the world), to escape from would-be thieves, whose leader wanted to steal the the supercomputer machine to use it for military purposes. The machine was attacked during a delivery to the race track in Fujioka, where the qualifying rounds for the Japan Grand Prix (in which the racers would have a chance to compete in the 10th Cyber Formula World Grand Prix) takes place. He manages to escape from the thieves and retrieves the car to the Sugo team, but there's only one problem: Asurada is an AI supercomputer with a unique security feature equipped within a car, which is programmed to only one person per driver. And because Hayato was the first person who got into the car, he's the one who uses it, so the Sugo team has no choice but to make Hayato the main driver of the team due to the previous main driver (Akira Hiyoshi) leaving the team. After obtaining the "Super License" to compete in the Grand Prix, he became the youngest racer in the history of Cyber Formula, at the time. Hayato now must struggle with being on top of his game and overcoming all obstacles both on and off the race track, while meeting rivals, friends and enemies along the way.

The title of the series actually is based on furigana: although the series is normally known as ''Shinseiki GPX Cyber Formula'', the title is actually ''Future Grand Prix Cyber Formula''; the title comprised of "'''fyūchā'''" (フューチャー), the English transcription of "Future" and GPX is pronounced "'''guranpuri'''" (グランプリ), or "Grand Prix", hence the official title.
