in "Speed Racer", are in fact bavarians ! :)

Quite a discovery after almost 30 years...

"The Car Acrobatic Team make their first appearance in The Most Dangerous
Race where they compete with Speed in the Alpine Race. The Team is led by
Captain Terror, and some of the members are Cobra, Knuckles, Brawn (car
#18), Ugly, Poison, Ender (car #19) and Tiger (car #14). They are auto team
equivalent of the US Navy's ``Blue Angels.'' They drive is amazing
formations, perform death defying stunts, etc., and also happen to win races
doing whatever it takes, moral or not, to win. But Speed gets the best of
the them in the end! "
