Bass, a street performer, plays a routine tune in a deserted Italian village square in the afternoon, waiting for a pedestrian to tip him in his rusty iron cup. Soon, he spots Tippy, a humble peasant girl clutching a big gold coin, with the intention of dropping it in the piazza fountain to make a wish. Bass, seizing the opportunity, immediately plays an impromptu piece, capturing the young girl's attention. Just when Tippy is about to drop the coin into Bass's cup, a newcomer steps onto the scene. Treble, a suave and flamboyant street performer, plays a more attractive song, effectively stealing Tippy's attention, much to the anger of Bass. Not to be outdone, Bass ups his ante, with Treble daring to take it even further. As the two rivals unleash their arsenal of musical weapons, trying to vie for the attention (or rather, the tip) of Tippy, the girl cowers in their wild musical cacophony, and in the process, drops her sole gold coin, which falls down a drain and gets lost in the sewers of the village.

Super Speedway vous immerge complètement dans un tout technique incroyablement détaillé avant de vous faire embarquer, via des plans semi-subjectifs particulièrement enthousiasmants, sur l'un de ces monstres de circuit que le film ne cesse de contempler et même d'implorer, dans toute sa perfection technique, affirmant peu à peu le pouvoir de conviction presque mystique qui frappe certains surhommes, adeptes pratiquants de vitesse et adorateurs des limites physiques admises. Ce film IMAX a été filmé en partie sur le circuit de Toronto, au Canada, lors des essais pour un grand prix.
