Ever since he first achieved consciousness, Man always had a need for speed. Whether it's the footraces in ancient Olympia or the high-octane thrills of NASCAR and Formula 1 today, racing has always been about pushing the limits of velocity and triumph. The progression of racing, from ancient chariot competitions in Rome to the revolutionary advancements seen in events like the Indy 500 and the European Grands Prix, has left a lasting impact on the world of competitive sports.
In the near future, at the Osaka Expo, a groundbreaking energy solution, the ＂Hybrid Performance Exceed Reactor＂ (HyPER), was introduced. This sustainable power source would swiftly integrate into the auto racing community, giving rise to the esteemed NEX Race, marking a revolutionary chapter in the realm of this sport. Here, state-of-the-art vehicles fueled by HyPER would race on advanced, hi-tech circuits. The introduction of the ＂Revol Burst＂ booster technology, leveraging HyPER's full potential, would raise the competition in NEX Race to unparalleled levels.
During its inception, the NEX Race was exclusive to men. However, this changed when Alice ＂The Queen＂ Summerwood made history by breaking barriers and inspiring more women to participate in the competition. The current reigning champion of the NEX Race is the renowned Lorenzo ＂The King＂ Salvatore, who has achieved five consecutive championship victories, showing his dominance in the sport.
Enter Rin Rindo, a young Japanese girl whose aspirations of becoming a ballerina were squashed after sustaining an injury. She shifted gears to the realm of gaming, where she quickly rose to fame for her exceptional abilities in racing games, breaking world records with her precise and skillful maneuvers. Suddenly finding herself immersed in the fast-paced world of NEX Race, Rin sets out on a fresh adventure as a novice racer for V-ZEN Racing. She is joined by fellow newcomers Kanata Asakawa and Towa Komachi of Izanami Racing, who welcome her with open arms and camaraderie.
Rin is about to face tough challenges in the NEX Race. Will she achieve racing glory against all odds? Or will she stumble against tough competition? The stage is set for a thrilling tale of speed, courage, and redemption in the fast-paced world of Highspeed Etoile.
To paraphrase a Phineas and Ferb meme: ＂If I had a nickel for every time a teenage female protagonist named Rin quit her ballerina career due to an injury, then decided to change her life after finding some hi-tech vehicle thingy, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.＂
