Cars is a 2006 American animated sports comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Cars is set in a world populated entirely by anthropomorphic vehicles. The film follows a selfish and arrogant young racecar named Lightning McQueen who, on the way to the most important race of his life, becomes stranded in a forgotten town along U.S. Route 66 called Radiator Springs, where he learns about friendship and begins to reevaluate his priorities.

There are several things I'd like to say about questions you had. But, first of all, great video! It's always a great to see people enjoy THE movie of my childhood and this is no exception. Many people don't get the Piston Cups joke but you were right on it XD
So, the Plymouth Road Runner Superbird (which The King, the blue racecar, is based on) famously features a giant rear wing. In general they are employed in cars to provide downforce by utilizing airflow (think similar to an airplane's wings but upside down), aka to press the car to the ground. This makes the car more stable at high speed and does indeed help with cornering like you guessed. Wings like these aren't very common in NASCAR (which is the real-life race series the Piston Cup is based on) because they're simply not necessary, the cars don't do a lot of heavy cornering. However, other racecars are absolutely loaded with wings, like F1 or Hillclimb cars.
Regarding the absence of rear view mirrors: Nascars usually feature a series of mirrors in the interior that give the driver all the rearward view they need, exterior mirrors aren't used because they cause extra drag, slowing the car down.
The Hudson Hornet was indeed a dominant NASCAR racecar in the 1950's, using basically the exact paintjob Doc wears in this movie. Also, back in those days these races would take place on dirt tracks instead of asphalt, that's why Doc is so good at driving fast on dirt. The crucial part here is grip, you just don't have as much as you would on asphalt. That's why you can't take corners the same way, you need to slow down more and/or go through a corner in an alternative way, mainly drifting. That means letting the rear end of the car swing out and then countersteering to enter the corner essentially already turned in, enabling you to carry a lot more speed than you would be able to otherwise. I saw another comment around here that also explained this quite well.
I love the vibe of this movie and especially Radiator Springs. The creative team behind this movie actually did a road trip down Route 66 to gather inspiration, several ofn the buildings in Radiator Springs are based on real-life locations along Route 66, as are several of the characters!
I really enjoyed this and I can't wait for you to see the third one! (I saw you already did the second one and I'll be watching that right after)
Fantastic video! And If I may say, you have an amazing sense of style.
I did notice a slight clicking sound when you start speaking, which might be due to a microphone issue. It makes the video a little harder to follow at times, but overall, it's just a small inconvenience.
Your reaction to this classic was really genuine and enjoyable. This movie holds a special place in my heart, and it’s great to see others appreciate it too.
Keep up the awesome content! :)
P.S. Dropping a sub here!
That thing on the back of the race car is called a spoiler. It acts similar to how an airplane's tail wings act... and its job is to use the airflow over the car to press the car into the ground to help maintain traction. As the car gets fast, airflow under the car will try to lift the car up, the spoiler counteracts that.
It's not for turns, as such.
Also, regarding turns... yes you're correct about the banked turns... but in the case of the dirt track it's more than that... in order to turn aganst momentum you need good traction. On dirt you barely have traction to begin with. What Doc did (and tried to explain to Lightning) is called "drifting"; it involves breaking traction suddenly by turning sharply in a direction to let the back end of the car to swing in the opposite direction, and then turning sharply the other way to control the drift and steer out of it.
Because dirt tracks have very little traction to begin with, drifting is about the only way to do a fast level turn. (Though drifting can be done on asphault as well... i.e. the movie "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift".)
And yes... 200 laps is short compared the Brickyard 400 or Indianapolis 500.
Ohhh that's so interesting! And makes more sense hahaha
Thank you for the info! Learned a lot from it 😋🤘
And drifting sounds cool that's for sure haha super cool we see it in the film 🤘
Fast and Furious is definitely a franchise I need to check out haha
I hope this doesn't sound weird but I like the way you stutter, I'm also a stutterer. I used to stutter really badly but with speech- and breathing exercises I've managed to get a grip on it, mostly... Great video and am glad that you enjoyed Cars! This movie, along with my brother, are the reasons I got into cars as a kid. I own a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda!
Such a great movie for young and old.
haha yeah it really is a fun film 🤘

Oh hi there! 😸 Thank you! Welcome aboard!😸
To answer your question about if these cars are based on real life. Yes characters like The King and Doc are both voiced by real racing drivers. The King was voiced by Richard Petty who drove that same bright blue car (called a Plymouth Superbird) and scored 18 wins with it in NASCAR during the 70s and was given the same nickname "The King". Doc was voiced by Paul Newman who unfortunately never drove a real Hudson Hornet BUT did have a hell of a racing career that lasted thirty-five years and won four national championships as a driver. He famously drove for Datsun and Nissan during the late 70s and 80s piloting aswell as starring in various advertisements in Japan promoting their cars. Nissan themselves even built a special Nissan Skyline Paul Newman Version in 1983. Unfortunately Paul passed away in 2008 due to Lung Cancer. The other two like Lightning Mcqueen and Chick Hicks are fictional cars made specifically for the movies but their overall designs are based on two different generations of NASCAR race cars. Chick is based on late 70s and 80s NASCAR cup cars with his overall boxy and not very aerodynamic shape. Mcqueen is based on the (at the time) new, sleeker, more aerodynamic 2000s generation NASCAR cup car. There are also a lot of cameos voices of other great racing drivers like the #8 car that appears a few times in the movie voiced by Dale Earnhardt JR, son of the late and great Dale Earnhardt SR, and the blue car with a gold roof is voiced by none other than Formula One champion Mario Andretti, and of course 7 time World Champion Michael Schumacher voiced the Ferrari F430 at the end that caused Luigi to faint.
(Someone please fact check me if i got any information wrong)
Bonus: to answer your question about if race cars use mirrors. Yes but it depends on the series, racing series like F1, Sports Car racing, etc use mirrors as a mandatory thing but the race cars from the NASCAR really only use one rear view mirror inside the car. They don't use side mirrors because it'll obstruct the airflow and create an imbalance in the car's handling.
Brand new channel huh? Subbed.

I sub and i love ur reaction🖤
thank youuu! 😻 welcome aboard! 😋
