Kenichi Hibiki was a racing driver testing the Mach car and its
new "X" engine. In a test prior to its completion, he
was involved in an accident and presumed dead. A few years later
the damaged car known as the new Mach, has been rebuilt by his father,
Daisuke Hibiki, to participate in a Grand Prix. This time, however,
to protect the driver from possible accidenst, the new car is equipped
with a safety system called "Safety Seven" with seven guarding devices.
Also, it is loaded with the engine "X" that miraculously survived
the tragic accident. Now its driver is Go, younger brother of Kenichi,
who is determined to succeed. In fact, he successfully participates
