The series follows Lightning McQueen and his best friend, Mater, on a rollicking road trip across the United States as they journey eastward to attend the latter’s sister's wedding. These episodes are filled with lots of fun new characters and imaginative destinations. They also have old friends checking in along the way.
It is also the third to be a Disney+ exclusive after the latter two.
It is also the fourth series to be animated entirely by Pixar, after Dug Days, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, which was in collaboration with Disney Television Animation (not counting the segments during the intro), and Monsters at Work, which also had most of its animation done by Dwarf Animation.
This is the third 3D animated series to be based on a 3D film, after Monsters at Work and Dug Days.
The series premiered on the same day as the 54th birthday of the Mexican voice actor, Sergio Gutierrez Coto (September 8), who voices Lightning McQueen in the series and in other media outside of the films in the Latin Spanish dub.
Lightning McQueen, Mater, and Ivy are the only characters who appear in more than one episode. Lightning McQueen and Mater appear in every episode, and Ivy appears in three episodes.
"Dino Park" is the only episode where the Radiator Springs gang makes an appearance. It's also the only episode where Lightning McQueen wears his Rust-Eze paint job.
Cruz Ramirez, Broadside, Bill, Taco, Blindspot, Pileup, Liability, and Run are the only Cars 3 characters who appear in this show.
Plot hole: Even though he was wearing Doc Hudson's paint job at the end of Cars 3, Lightning McQueen was seen wearing his original paint job in the first episode of Cars on the Road.
