💫 Piston Cup meets the Rolex 24 as the worlds of Pixar and professional racing collided at Daytona International Speedway.

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original Cars movie, life-sized versions of Lightning McQueen and Sally Carrera made a legendary appearance on the grid.

Fans were treated to a rare sight as the animated icons posed alongside modern beasts like the Porsche 963 and the fan-favorite Rexy 911 GT3 R.

This crossover bridge the gap between childhood nostalgia and high-stakes endurance racing for thousands of spectators.

Porsche and Pixar worked closely to ensure the replicas were screen-accurate, right down to Sally’s signature pinstripe tattoo.

Seeing these childhood heroes parked next to actual Le Mans prototypes felt like a dream come true for everyone who grew up shouting “Ka-Chow.”

The event served as a massive tribute to the franchise’s lasting impact on car culture across generations.

It was the perfect way to kick off one of the biggest racing weekends of 2026.
