Cars Race Rally

Designed for even the youngest of drivers, this crazy desert racing adventure features exciting twists and turns and plenty of close calls for the entire family.

The engine-roaring family fun begins when race fans arrive at Radiator Springs, a little town full of the friendliest folks on four wheels, eager to show off their community and its thriving businesses. First to greet daring drivers are Luigi and Guido, two of the stars from the film. This is the first time these “car-a-cters” have been created in three dimensions in a Disney Park.

As racers make their way to the track they’ll see Flo’s V-8 Café, Luigi’s Casa Della Tires, Ramone’s House of Body Art and the prized Piston Cup. Taking inspiration from the cars in the film, Imagineers and Pixar have created a new character especially for this attraction.  It took more than one-year to design and build the colourful ride vehicles. There are 12 vehicles in all, driving under the tutelage of two famous race coaches.

As racers “speed” toward the finish line on the crazy-spinning race track which resembles a figure eight, they’ll get more than driving advice from #95 Lighting McQueen and his rusty but trusty friend Mater.  The two seasoned veterans help coach drivers to toward victory lane.
