From what I've seen, at this point the Fast and the Furious movies might as well be Hot Wheels movies.
The completely absurd, physically impossible stunts make way more sense if you think of them as a 10 year old boy imagining playing with his toy cars and not as something that could actually happen in this universe (or even the universe of the first FATF movie).
Like that webcomic that posits that all of Star Wars, starting with The Phantom Menace, is just one big tabletop gaming session between weirdos, and it ends up making a disturbing amount of sense in that context?
It would be cool if they had the guts to just make a movie with insane car jumps and one of the plot points is somebody has to complete a double loop on Hot Wheeks tracks for the first time and they play it completely straight. That's not what they'll do, though.

I think it was called "Darths and Droids."
Oh snap. I completely forgot about that series. I got to check it out again.
"Murdering a bunch of children" yep definitely checks out as a role-playing game

Unbranded, or rebranded, yeah
The branded hot wheels dragster -- i think it's a mustang running nitromethane -- is cool though. On YT.
But...they already made Real Steel...
I'd argue that Redline is also a contender, though maybe not as ideally suited as Speed Racer.
