Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy

Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy was a show attraction in Sunset Boulevard at Disney's Hollywood Studios, which opened on March 31, 2019, as part of the park's 30th anniversary celebration.
The show was housed in Sunset Showcase near Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith.
==Official descriptions==
"Learn what it takes to be a champion racer from the legendary Lightning McQueen."
"To kick things off, Lightning demonstrates what he's learned over the years by using his brand-new, state-of-the-art racing simulator and its wraparound screen. Of course, as this seasoned racer has discovered throughout his career, things don't always go according to plan, and he has to think fast to get back on course."
"With Tow Mater, Cruz Ramirez, and the gang from Radiator Springs rooting him on, Lightning gears up for the challenge. Will he emerge victorious? Speed on over to find out."
==Show summary==
During the 10-minute show, guests took on the role of rookie racer as they entered the theater and found themselves face-to-face with Lightning McQueen, who appeared live on stage. With the entire audience enveloped by a giant, wrap-around screen that is nearly two stories tall and stretches more than 200 feet from end to end, pulling everyone into the action!
Lightning is anxious to showcase what he's learned over the years. But, things don't always go according to plan when Chick Hicks hacks into the simulator system to humiliate him, and he has to think fast to get back on course. Friends like Mater, Cruz Ramirez, and Lightning's pals from Radiator Springs chime in with their support, as Lightning gears up for a challenge to finally settle the score with Chicks in a virtual race.
In the courtyard outside the attraction, guests would meet Cruz Ramirez and join DJ's Dance Party, relocated from Cars Land.

==Trivia==
*The show presumably took place sometime after Cars 3.
*Chick Hicks proclaims himself to be "the greatest racer of all time" because he won a Piston Cup in the first movie, even though his championship was a fluke since he got booed by his fans for his dirty actions.
*When Chick summons clones to take out McQueen in a virtual race, this is a reference to Chick Hicks Takedown, a level in the Cars 3 tie-in game Cars 3: Driven to Win, where the player must take out thousands of Chick Hicks clones.
*A113 appeared as part of the serial number on one of the dollar bills that appears when Chick offers cash to the guests if he wins.
*Chick's presentation is to similar to Syndrome's and Omnidroid v.9's presentation at Nomanisan Island in The Incredibles.
