Pole Position
animated series

Pole Position is an animated cartoon series produced by DIC Entertainment.

The show sought to capitalize on the popularity of the video game. However, there is very little in common between the game and the show.

The show ran for 13 episodes on CBS in 1984 as part of their Saturday morning children's programming line-up, and later returned in reruns for a few months in 1986.

It was also shown in the UK during the 80's and repeated in the early 1990s on Saturday mornings as part of Going Live on BBC1.

The show featured three young sibling crime fighters, two of whom were stunt drivers and part of a secret government operation under the guise of the Stunt Show that was run by their uncle.

The youths inherited the role after their parents died in an unfortunate car accident. The team is equipped with two high-tech talking vehicles named "Roadie" and "Wheels."

The vehicles featured numerous hidden gadgets like water skis and hover jets. The vehicles' computers themselves are portable and can be removed from the dashboards and carried around using handles.

They are characters that appeared as computer-drawn faces displayed on video screens.
