The series delves deeper into the competitive world of Cyber Formula racing, where drivers utilize cutting-edge AI systems to achieve unparalleled speeds and precision.

The story begins with Hayato facing new challenges as he competes in the 2021 Cyber Formula World Grand Prix. The stakes are higher, with rival teams developing increasingly sophisticated technology to outpace Asurada. Among the new competitors is Shinjo Naoki, a skilled and ambitious racer who becomes one of Hayato's primary rivals.

The races are not only physical contests but also battles of wits and adaptability, as drivers must navigate unpredictable conditions and rival tactics. The series maintains a focus on the personal growth of its characters, particularly Hayato, who matures as a racer and individual through his experiences on and off the track.

"Future GPX Cyber Formula Saga" also introduces new technological elements, such as the "Boost System," which adds an additional layer of strategy to the races.
