Slick Wheels Whitehead

Slick Wheels Whitehead is a background character from the Speed Racer film.

Appearance
He wears an orange costume with a black helmet and aviator goggles. The "shark teeth" design of his poster is also seen in the cars from the BodySculpt Gym team, and the "Whitehead" name helps bring the connection closer. The clothes he wears seem to be a recolored version of the Shark Driver's outfit, with the same goggles and identical Sparco straps on his shoulders. Given this, it is likely that he's part of that team.

Background
Whitehead is a legendary driver that does not physically appear in the movie, only being shown in the form of images. He appears in a poster seen on Speed Racer's room, together with various other drivers; as well as in one edition of the Racing Chronicle newspaper, as the winner of the 24th Great Coast Trophy, 4th League.

Trivia

 * This driver was often assumed to be the name of the Three Roses Driver due to the orange-colored costume he wears; however, their outfits aren't the exact same, particularly above the chest area, the different gloves, and the different helmet.
