Gelorum, leader of the CLYP Agency.
The CLYP Agency is a mysterious, secretive agency led by Gelorum. Almost all of CLYP's forces are made up of Clyp Robots that drive heavily modified Prototype 12 cars. Gelorum also uses a CLYP Helicopter for transportation and later a modified HW 'Prototype 12 with a laser cannon attached to the hood. In The World Race they use Kurt Wylde as a spy (codenamed ZED-36) to sabotage the race and gain the Wheel of Power for themselves. CLYP ultimately failed to complete their objective and fell apart soon after the events of the World Race, however they do return in AcceleRacers as an even more deadly adversary: the Racing Drones.

Trivia[]
- The word CLYP could be an acronym witch stands for "Carpo Lavoro Ymo Peractum". which is Latin for "I take work and finish it." This fits very well with Gelorum and the Drones' ideology of "Winning at all cost."
- It is unknown of where CLYP's Headquarters is, although it is likely hidden secretly underground.
- While not technically one of the teams competing within the World Race, CLYP was a major factor in how the events of the conflict played out.
- Besides Kurt Wylde, it remained unknown if CLYP has any other humans working in the organization.
- In the comic version of The World Race, Harrison Lau joins CLYP to assist ZED-36 in sabotaging the races, but is ultimately stopped by Everest.
- When Kurt meets with Galorum before the attack on Tezla's Cube, Gelorum's CLYP Helicopter is revealed to not have a pilot until Gelorum is seen flying the chopper leading her CLYP forces. This suggests the helicopter itself is also a CLYP drone.
