Garaiya

The Garaiya is a background car from the Speed Racer film.

Background
This T-180 is based on the real-life car from Autobacs Racing Team Aguri (ARTA), also named Garaiya. It appears with two liveries: a red version for the Grand Prix and a blue one for Thunderhead.

Thunderhead
The blue version is seen alongside the other cars in 7th place at the start, and later on reaches the 5th spot after Pitter Pat and Snake Oiler's cars wreck. It can be seen throughout the rest of the race, almost managing to reach 4th, but staying in 5th for most of the scenes.

Grand Prix
The red version is seen in one of the back rows and can be observed taking off at the start of race. It is seen in the half pipe for a brief few seconds, then in the big drop, passing Speed and the damaged GRX. Afterwards, it is seen once again in the big drop and the half pipe for the last time. It was made into a real car for a promotion for both the movie and ARTA.
