With rules that are constantly changing, Axl must help his team, including their new driver Piston, beat impossible odds. If Axl wants to achieve the ultimate status of Centurion, he must learn to build his team. Can they grow together? Or, will Truckus Maximus claim more victims? Everyone is watching, including Caesar himself.
