Cars 2 rewrite

Chapter 3

The next day a television pre-roll of Japan,

"Japan. Land of the rising sun. Where ancient tradition meets modern technology. Welcome to the inaugural running of the World Grand Prix." someone said.

"I'm Brent Mustangburger, here with racing legends Darrell Cartrip and David Hobbscap. There's never been a competition like this before." he said while they introduce themselves

The TV was showing shots of the as the racers fuel up.

"First, Allinol, making its debut tonight as the required fuel for all these great champions." Brent said. "Second, the course itself, and it's like nothing we've ever seen. David, how exactly does this competition work?"

"Well, Brent, all three of these street courses are classic round- the-house racetracks." Dave said.

The outlines of three race courses were seen. They're labeled Japan, Italy and England, and are different in shape and size.

"This means that the LMP and Formula cars should break out of the gate in spectacular fashion." Dave said.

Shots of the racers they weave up the track, practicing.

"Look for Francesco Bernoulli in particular to lead early." he said.

Shots of Francesco were featured in an inset.

"And with a series of technical turns throughout -"

More shots of the course, now highlighting the tech turns.

"GT and Touring people like Spain's Miguel Camino should make up some ground but I doubt it'll be enough to stop Francesco from absolutely running away with it."

"Woah, now just hold your horsepower. You're forgetting the most important factor here. That early dirt track section of the course! The dirt is supposed to be the great equalizer in this race." Darrell said.

MGRAPHICS OF THE COURSES now isolate a stretch after the first couple turns, label it "DIRT SECTIONS."

"French Rally car Raoul ÇaRoule is counting on a big boost headed through there." Brent said.

"And don't forget Lightning McQueen! His mentor, the Hudson Hornet, was one of the greatest dirt track racers of all time. In my opinion, McQueen is the best all-around racer in this competition." Darrell said smiling.

Back on the studio,

"Really, Darrell, I think you need to clean your classes. You're clearly not seeing this for what it is: Francesco's race to lose." David said.

At the starting line,

"It's time to find out. The racers are locking into the grid -" Brent started.

Engines rev as everyone got ready to go. Everyone's bright eyed and alert except for Lightning who was in the back of the grid with his eyes closed.

"Speed. I am speed." he started to himself.

Suddenly someone started laugh causing him to open his eyes. Francesco was next to him on the grid.

"Really? You are "speed"? Then Francesco is triple speed." he said and closed his eyes. Francesco. Is. Triple speed. Francesco likes this, McQueen. It's really getting him into the zone!" he said.

"He is so getting beat today." Lightning muttered to himself.

Doc shook his head.

"Don't listen to him kid, I'll admit something to you."

"What?"

"I used to do something like that."

"Really?"
