Speed was often suspicious of Racer X's identity and motives because Racer X would repeatedly, and inexplicably, sacrifice winning races to protect Speed from drivers and others who tried to harm him. It was acknowledged by both Pops and Speed over the years that Racer X was the superior driver of the two, and the greatest driver that they had ever seen, but Speed always vowed to defeat Racer X as the two vigorously competed. ![]() Speed finds out that Racer X is his long lost brother near the end of the series in "The Trick Race". Speed starts to suspect that Racer X might, in fact, be his estranged older brother in the "Challenge of the Masked Racer" saga (episodes 3 and 4). ![]() Throughout the course of Speed Racer, Racer X's identity is constantly revealed to the audience in almost every episode in which he appears, while Speed is unaware of it.
