Iodyne Industries

Iodyne Industries, also known as Iodyne, Inc., is the team/company that is featured in the 2008 Speed Racer film.

Background
They are a company that produces fuel cells for aircraft. It is also one of the corporate sponsors that partake in the race-fixing scheme within the WRL.

It was revealed by Arnold Royalton, the Founder and E.P. 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 lost 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 several of 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.

Trivia

 * In a flashback sequence of the '43 Grand Prix when Arnold Royalton explained the race-fixing scheme to Speed, it is shown the Carl Potts and his car, a rebuilt Wittigan, had caught on fire when he DNF'd. Royalton himself had bought the wreck for $3,000,000 and has it on display in his office at Royalton Tower as a reminder of his motivations.
