Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Transcontinental Series Racers
“Why this car is systematic
It’s hydromatic
It’s ultramatic
Why it’s a grease lightning (Grease Lightning)”

There is apparently a “new” series floating around on eBay.
Is it a short or a book on a “transcontinental race?”
Maybe.
Is this series “real?”
As in – are these factory unauthorized creations like the 1:55 flag series?
My feeling is these are not counterfeits but a line we’ll get in a few months or early 2016.
I have no actual proof as Mattel has not added/updated nothing for CARS/PLANES in months but these look legit. The details are all there – counterfeiters who create a “new line’ are lazy SOB’s and have no design skills. So this passes the first muster test.
And of course, since only 6 of the 11 WGP racers are shown, it’s perfect as another incomplete WGP racers lineup, right? 😆
Thanks for the heads up and photo link, “Jake18Hunter” and “John H.” Thanks!

They are called “TROC Racers” ( TROC = Transcontinental Race of Champions )
(MET: All the non-WGP CARS 2 racers expanded universe are now TROC).
Silver, Ice, & Neon do not have the TROC name or logo on them.
The new Neon singles re-releases at Kmart come in new packaging with the yellow app box on the front and the TROC logo and story blurb on the back.
Oh OK thanks.
The newest released ice racers have the TROC on the back. Carla Rip Nigel Jeff.
Oh OK thanks.
related but unrelated—
does any know if there is a difference between KMART’s silver racers and th new walmart ones…?
I find it frustrating I see negativity against these on this and other blog sites, yet people are buying the ugly color changers left and right and saying they are cool.
I don’t want any more series or repaint, just keep producing what you will sell Mattel, new characters!!!
