Death Race Trilogy (2008-2012): Who is Frankenstein in the first scene of the first movie?

Let me explain without spoiling any of the plot:

The first scene of the first movie, we see Frankenstein racing. Frankenstein is just a mask. We don't necessary find out his indentity.

Now, I was thinking how to word this without spoiling...

• In the first movie happens this and this.


• In the second movie there is a plot that explain what happen so this and this could happen in the first movie, in other words it's a prequel. A prequel with its own thrilling story, just like the first movie, thrilling and enjoyable to watch.


• Well, the third movie is a little more complicated. The plot doesn't necessary continue from the second movie but you sure do know it happens after the second movie and before the first movie. The plot is thrilling and enjoyable to watch.

Towards the end of the third movie, we see who is setup to be Frankenstein. Listen here now, his character is not who we want Frankenstein to be. Frankenstein is someone you love, someone you wanna cheer for, that guy by the end of the third movie who is setup to be Frankenstein is not 'our' guy.

This is why I ask, who is the Frankenstein in the first scene of the first Death Race Movie?

You might want to consider watching the trilogy, because the way I worded this (spoiler-free) makes next to no sense if you know nothing about the movie(s)
