Description

In this adventure, Asterix and his faithful companion Obelix take on the challenge of a great chariot race that will lead them through various countries of the ancient world. Despite cheating rivals and other challenges, the indomitable Gauls compete with their usual wit, cunning, and strength, accompanied by their trusty druid Getafix and his magic potion that gives them superhuman strength. The roads across Italy are in disrepair and Senator Lactus Bifidus, hoping to defend his name and prove Rome's greatness, announces a special one-off chariot race. Julius Caesar insists that a Roman must win, or Bifidus will pay the price. The race is open to anyone from the known world, attracting competitors far and wide, including Asterix and Obelix. With Bifidus secretly scheming against them, the question remains: who will win this almighty chariot race?
