Pole Position is an animated action and science fiction series produced by DIC Enterprises and MK Company. The series aired for one season in 1984 and appeared in re-runs for a few years thereafter. The series is loosely based on the arcade racing video game series Pole Position by Namco, though the game and the television program have very little in common beyond the basic concept of auto racing and two cars from the game being featured in the series.
