Tyrus Tropp

Tyrus Tropp is a minor character from the Speed Racer film.

Background
Tyrus drives for the Atomic Injectables team in the street car numbered 24, and leads cars 23 and 27. He competes in the Casa Cristo 5000 where he does good enough to get past leg one with his teammates. For the second leg he starts off well leading the pack but not for long as Snake Oiler uses his Snake-A-Pult, which ends up with the #24 falling off the road.

Trivia

 * A member of the Atomic Injectables team, Sam "Lightning" Storm, makes an appearance in the tie-in Videogame, using a T-180 version of their street car, named Nuke Shot.
 * The name "Tyrus Tropp" is only mentioned in the movie's script. He originally was supposed to be a headhunter who attacked Speed's team together with the Maneck's Novelties team.
