Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Day at the Races Book – CARS2 Clues?
I got a copy of the two sided Disney Press book, “Day at the Races-Night Vision” that “LiamsMom” first pointed out to us last week.
It’s the story of McQueen’s new track at Radiator Springs …
Fortunately, in an internal combustion engine society, you can build a race track without having to file an environmental impact report – I mean who hasn’t looked at Monument Valley and thought – ROAD RALLY through the arches! 🙂
So, this could be a preview of the beginning of CARS2?
The BMW on the cover is named Otto and comes to Radiator Springs to learn how to race … he visits Lizzie’s Curio Shop … CHASE CAR – Stickers Otto!
Just kidding … I think? 🙂
Though of course, it is a kid’s book so I don’t think they spent a lot of time debating canonosity.
I mean, the entire town was practically a ghost town, you think LM could afford to find some office and garage space instead of taking over Flo’s Cafe … I think Tricia the real estate agent CAR might have a quibble with this 🙂
But of course, the best part of the book for kids …
STICKERS!
Is there a kid who does not like stickers? 🙂
You get like 4 pages of stickers … so, book is probably not very canon or germaine or cluelicious to CARS2 but a fun story with plenty o’stickers …

Can’t wait for Radiator Springs Racers to open!
I was able to score this book, the green and blue Cars Easter eggs (Chief Spare o Mint and Chief Shiny Wax), race damaged the King and Trunk Fresh pitty……..all finally…….at Target yesterday.
Isn’t this the basic premise in the Mater-national video game? It has Otto, the new track, racers from around the world, etc. My son loves watching me play this. Win-win.
(MET: Never paid much attention to game, any screenshots? Anyone?)
That stickers Otto definitely LOOKS like a chase car…looks like the confetti from its bubble pack stuck to him, too!
Mmm…CHASE!!!
Has anyone seen the comic book they were talking about releasing in March?
Chuki_mama sent me some phtos of one she found at Target, but I thought there was another one coming out about now. I am not even sure if we have a comic book store or where I would find it. Anyone seen one yet??
Met stated at the end of March…My comic book store looked at me like I was on something… 🙄
I just wanted to thank chuki_mama for all of her of help finding things like this for all of us. She must keep a list of who wants what, and when she finds it, she lets you know. Thank you chuki_mama!!
You’re welcome.. 🙂 you’re making me blush… 😳
Chase Car? Stickers Otto?
Funny. I immediately thought that not because of the stickers but because he looked like one of the Chase cars in confetti packaging.
It’s a Mercedes by the way, not a Beemer
actually the front grill logo looks like a mazda. zoom zoom
I think it is a Honda.
Are you sure it is not a Vespa? Right Popeye!
The front indeed looks like a Mazda RX-8. I should have seen that (because I own one…) but I was looking at all the wings on the side and at the back. That is typical DTM Mercedes.
DTM Mercedes for sure. Emblem on front seems curious, maybe it’s just made up so they don’t have to pay royalties to Mercedes.
He actually looks very similar to a Scion tC (front end) and has more of a Mercedes-ish back end. The logo on his grille may very well be a Scion logo.
Hate to rain on your parade, but that book is based off of the “Mater-national Championship”.
I’m going to look for this tomorrow and I still say that LMQ will have the Radiator Springs LMQ look for Cars II
I think he will get hooked on Organic Fuel and sport the whole tie dye funkadelic cluelicious updo!!!
Cluelicious??? That is my new favorite word!!
IS THIS IN THE CANADIAN DICTIONARY ?
IS DISNEY MASTERMINDING SOMETHING……hmmmmm ?
I got mine too!!! 🙂
