Iodyne Industries

Iodyne Industries, also known as Iodyne, Inc., is the team/company that is featured in the 2008 Speed Racer film. They are a company that produces fuel cells for aircraft.

Background
It was revealed by Arnold Royalton, the Founder and EP of Royalton Industries, that during the Grand Prix of 1943, Iodyne's racing driver at the time, Carl Potts, spun out and DNF'd on the second lap. Iodyne's stock went down by six points in the stock market as a result, while Sirrus Aeronautics saw almost a 12-point gain, leaving Peninsula Power Cell unable to afford the price of a complete takeover.

This put Iodyne's CEO at the time, Joel Goldman, in a perfect position, as he bought the controlling interest in his own company at a devalued price before brokering a merger with Sirrus that resulted in record-breaking gains and the monopolization of the fuel cell market.

It was also revealed that a week before the '43 Grand Prix, Goldman and Sirrus met with the other major corporate players at the Cargyle Hotel, as they had for years, to negotiate and pre-determine the finishing order of the race. Goldman was originally supposed to win, but he sold his win to Sirrus, knowing that the gains would be worth more.
