Show summary

During the 10-minute show, guests take on the role of "rookie racer" as they enter the theater and watch a Lightning McQueen animatronic on stage. The audience is enveloped by a giant, wrap-around screen that is nearly two stories tall and stretches more than 200 feet from end to end.

Lightning is anxious to show what he's learned over the years, but his main rival Chick Hicks hacks into the simulator system to humiliate him. Mater, Cruz Ramirez and Lightning's friends from Radiator Springs chime in with their support, as Lightning gears up for a challenge to settle the score with Chick Hicks in a virtual simulator race.

In the courtyard outside the attraction, guests can meet Cruz Ramirez and join DJ's Dance Party, relocated from Cars Land at Disney California Adventure.
