3 NEW CARS RACERS
Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, and Cruz Ramirez race into Disney Speedstorm, each bringing their own racing style and personality to the track. Lightning McQueen joins as a Speedster, Tow Mater rolls in as a Defender and Cruz Ramirez speeds ahead as a Speedster. 

You can collect these racers via special time-limited events and unique offers.

THE CARS-INSPIRED RACERS’ UNIQUE SKILLS

LIGHTNING McQUEEN – KA-CHOW CONTROL (Speedster)

Trained by Doc Hudson himself, Lightning McQueen is the king of the turns. When drifting, he barely loses speed—allowing him to carve corners with unmatched precision.

• Normal Activation: McQueen enters a lightning-fast pit stop without slowing down. Guido swaps his tires in record time, granting McQueen a top-speed boost while discarded tires roll onto the track as obstacles for rivals.
• Charged Activation: Cameras surround McQueen as he strikes his iconic Ka-chow! poses. The flashing decals blind nearby rivals, slowing them and clearing McQueen’s path to victory.

TOW MATER – RISE AND SHINE (Defender)

Mater proves that charm and chaos can go a long way on the track.

• Normal Activation: Mater tosses his hook forward like a lasso. If it hits a rival, he pulls himself forward while dragging them back. Passing the rival grants Mater a quick dash.
• Charged Activation: Tractors spawn around the track as Mater honks and flashes his lights. Rivals who bump into tractors are slowed, while Mater enters an autopilot state, cruising backward in classic Mater style.

CRUZ RAMIREZ – POSITIVITY TRAINING (Speedster)

Cruz brings focus, motivation, and teamwork to the race.

• Normal Activation: Cruz hops onto a treadmill, gaining a boost and top-speed increase. Allies inside the area receive smaller speed boosts of their own.
• Charged Activation: Cruz spins into motion, leaving a thick fog trail behind her. Rivals who pass through it are slowed, giving Cruz and her team the advantage.
