Trivia

This article contains a list of miscellaneous information. Please relocate any relevant information into other sections or articles. (September 2007)

Sometimes when Lightning McQueen is stopped, he will start to fall asleep, and he can only be woken up by the player pressing the Accelerate button.
The only inhabitants of Radiator Springs that do not appear in the video game are Red (the fire engine) and Bessie (the road paving machine). Bessie is in a deleted scene from the game, indicating that "she" was supposed to be in it at one point.
In each part of Carburator County there is a "World's Biggest Ball...". In Tailfin Pass there is a giant ball bearing, In Radiator Springs there is a giant ball of rope, and in Ornament Valley there is a giant ball of fan belts. You can push them around for a while, but they eventually disappear. If you go back to the sign where the ball was, it appears again.
If you follow and bump a car for too long, such as Mater, they will shake, get mad and hit you. Sometimes, when they do this, they yell at you for no reason.
You can stay at the edge of a bridge and knock off cars for a while. Some get stuck, and some get out. If you leave the area, they will appear on the road again out of nowhere.
If you go behind Ramone's store, there is a ramp leading to the rooftop. Go up it and you can jump to the roof of other stores where you'll find additional points.
Sometimes when there is a new race or minigame, a car sits by it. Before you do the game, you can push the car around and all it can do is yell at you. If you flip a car over, it can get back up.
One of the minor characters is voiced by Blue Peter presenter Connie Huq. Her recording of the voice was shown on an episode of Blue Peter.
Behind Lizzie's store there is a ramp that lets you jump to a crate behind Luigi's store that has a post card on top of it.
In the PS2 version of the game, you can also hear the pop-punk song "What I Want" by Autopilot Off.
