Pole Position is an animated series based on the video game of the same name.

The show featured the Darretts, a family of stunt-driving crime fighters, who investigate and thwart wrongdoing while operating under the front of a traveling show known as "Pole Position Stunt Show", which was sponsored by the United States government in order to give cover for their investigative activity and provide maintenance for the high-demand vehicles. The Darretts had two adult children and a third child much younger in age. Unfortunately, a road accident ended the life of the parents, and the father's younger brother, Uncle Zack, took charge of the stunt show and said that now that the patriarch and his wife were dead, it was incumbent upon the two adult children, Tess and Dan, to continue their parents' dangerous and proud work.

Dan and Tess' vehicles, who go by the names of Wheels and Roadie, featured numerous hidden gadgets like water skis and hover jets. The computers themselves are portable and can be removed from the dashboards and carried around using handles, which they are often referred to as "the modules". They are characters that appeared as computer-drawn faces displayed on video screens.
