CARS 3 Road to the Races stopped in Miami on the weekend of Friday, March 31 through Sunday, April 2 at Bayfront Park and we went to check it out. Check out our video recap of our time at the Cars 3 Road to the Races Miami stop, where we enjoyed building our own racers, colored Lighting McQueen and his friends on a giant mural, of course, we got to meet Lighting McQueen, Cruz Ramirez, and Jackson Storm. We also got to preview the first 15 minutes of the movie and all I can say is that OMG, the kiddos and I, cannot wait to see the rest!

REAR VIEW — The legendary #95 may be leading the pack, but the high-tech Next Gen racers are closing in fast. Directed by Brian Fee and produced by Kevin Reher, “Cars 3” cruises into theaters on June 16, 2017. ©2016 Disney•Pixar. All Rights Reserved.
Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician with her own plan to win, inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet, and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage!
CARS 3 opens in theaters everywhere on June 16, 2017!

My favorite character is Mater! Everyone needs a Best Friend like Mater. Mater is such a supportive friend. I love his innocence and how genuine he is. Mater may look Rusty but he’s a charmer and don’t even get me started on his sense of humor and best of all he’s the BEST backwards driver in the world!!. Who wouldn’t love Mater?
My favorite is Lighting McQueen because he goes through so much growth in the stories.
My two boys love Mc Queen I personally love Tow Mater because of how sweet and honest personality he has in the movies 😉
My children would have to say Lightning McQueen is their favorite Cars character because he is a race car with corvette features in their favorite color, red. They watch cars toons: maters tall tailes and absolutely love it ?
We do also love the Mater’s tall tales and our daughter’s favorite is Lightning McQueen because is going faster than fast!
