Disney Pixar CARS 2: Lewis Hamilton & Tokyo Starting Grid
FI racer, Lewis Hamilton is the latest character named (officially) …
I’m guessing in real life, he has a little tooth gap? 🙂
Here he is sitting in a real street version of the MacLaren …
Here he is hanging out with other champion racers, Jeff Gorvette & Lightning.
And I think the starting grid for the Tokyo race seems to be all in place …
Starting from the front row Raoul ÇaRoule, & Miguel Camino.
Then – Max Schnell & Jeff Gorvette.
Lewis Hamilton (behind Jeff Gorvette) & Nigel Gearsley
Rip Clutchgoneski (behind Nigel) and Shu Todoroki
Carla Veloso (blue-green) slightly ahead of Lightning McQueen in the next to last row
… and Francesco Bernouilli.
In the trailers, we have seen a glimpse of a few other racers – these are probably the main 11 – maybe a few others have crashed out? And of course, the trailer scenes may not be in the film itself – they might add some racers – both to have additional foils or comic relief and of course, maybe to sell a few more diecasts. 🙂
In any case, it seems pretty unlikely they will squeeze in more than a handful of other racers so it probably is safe to guess the CARS 2 racers will number less than 20.
It does look like this previously un-named racer character diecast is Miguel Camino …
Thanks “ScoobyDoo” for Lewis Hamilton photos and info and all others who helped assemble the grid info. Thanks!
For fans of Lewis Hamilton, he’ll be at Watkins Glen – switching race cars with Tony Stewart for a couple laps before the NASCAR race later this year.

All of the Cars 2 cars look great and I’m sure the movie will be great. I just feel a little “hung out to dry” with collecting Cars 1 cars. It seems that all of the major retailers have pretty much axed the Cars 1 line making it almost impossible to find the already released (at least in a few areas) Cars 1 items and even most of the online information coming out now is Cars 2. I fully understand the excitement over the new movie but for those of us who have invested five years into collecting Cars, it would be nice to at least have a chance to finish what we started in 2006.
Is it Lewis HAMILTON. The name above his pit garage suggests Lewis RE?????
I thought the same thing.
I expected that he would not be named Lewis Hamilton, and was pretty surprised when finally he was.
I propose an explanation :
This screenshot comes from the first official trailer.
In the new trailers, the scene reappears, but is different : the pit stop aren’t in the same order, and Lewis is physically different. May be in addition of changing of design, the character changed of name…
Got to see the Real Life Cars here in St. Louis tonight! They were awesome!
Gentleman…..
Start Your Engines!!!
You saw other racers in the trailer ? Where ? I don’t think so… I think those are all 11 racers… At least the only 11 who appeared in all the Cars 2 media who were published…
Well, in fact, there’s one concept art who shows completely different racers :

(from http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-news/movies/cars-2-winnie-pooh-exhibits-disneys-hollywood-studios/)
But personally, I think its just one of their first concept art for Cars 2 to study the atmosphere, not the characters.
Cool. Less than 20 is good. At least they are all unique characters.
His lips kinda give me the willies.
mclaren mp4-12c, i think?
Yep. See also the turntable video.
What about if the trailer shows the japan race as the last race? Who knows how many racers was part of the Itlian and English race? Maybe the Japenese race is for the top 12 racers only… kinda NASCAR chase cup for the last 10 races of the season…. Maybe all the marketing have been planned this way… We may have surprises!!! Maybe I am speculating too much or dreaming too much 🙂
How do you do a smiley with a gap tooth? 🙂
Very nice… here’s hoping they’re all available in the classic style launchers, singles, and with crew chiefs and pittys and haulers and… I’m getting ahead of myself again, aren’t I?
SWEET!! Looks like I need one shelf for the Pit Row Racers 😀
Is his name Lewis Hamilton or Hamilton Lewis?
Lewis Carl Hamilton, named after athlete Carl Lewis.
Like Michael Schumacher in Cars 1 Lewis will voice his own character. So you can expect to hear him say “wicked” a lot.
(MET: “Speaking about the news on Twitter on Monday, Hamilton described his animated car character as “wicked”.”).
Any word on other voices — aside from the main cast? I know Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson played Harv in the UK release last time around; anybody know if Hamster and Capt. Slow will make cameos in CARS2?
