Last week we covered the Cars 2 appearance at the NASCAR race at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA right in Pixar’s backyard. This week the boys from Pixar will travel across the pond to promote Cars 2 at the Formula One race in Silverstone.
Look for Cars 2 livery on Marussia Virgin Racing race cars and driver Timo Glock and Jerome d’Ambrosio’s race suits this weekend, as well as across many other elements of the team’s in-paddock presence at the racetrack.
I love it when two of my fan interests come together and nothing is more natural than Pixar’s Cars and the world of racing.
More at F1SA.
Virgin Racing posted a couple of photos of the Cars 2 livery on their car to Twitter yesterday from their press event:

I read that Disney had a presence with the life-sized Lightning McQueen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed over the weekend, too. There’s a photo on the Goodwood website here:

Doesn’t say if Lightning actually went out to do any laps, though ;)
