A new trailer for Pixar's upcoming sequel CARS 3 has just raced onto the net ahead of the animation's release next weekend. This installment to the franchise sees Lightning McQueen setting out to prove to a new generation of racers that he's still the best race car in the world. It's a bit of an odd premise if you ask me. The thought of McQueen questioning his relevance in the world of fast-paced racing points at the concept of McQueen (in one way or another) exploring his mortality in a world where newer and presumably faster cars are being manufactured every day. You'd think that with all the lessons he's learned over the years that he'd be okay with becoming the next Doc Hudson, but then again, McQueen has never been able to humble himself without an impactful life lesson to set his tires back upon the pavement.
