Lightning McQueen (Race-O-Rama)

In Cars 2, the sequel to Cars, Lightning McQueen returns, but as the deuteragonist. In the film, having won his fourth Piston Cup, McQueen comes back to Radiator Springs to take a well-long break and spend the whole summer doing tons of activities with Mater. After just one day full of crazy activities, McQueen decides to just have a date with Sally for the evening, though Mater volunteers to be their waiter at the Wheel Well Motel. While fetching their drinks, Mater finds an Italian Formula One racer named Francesco Bernoulli, interviewed on the Mel Dorado Show bragging about being faster than McQueen any day and calls in to the show to have a talk with Francesco. McQueen catches eye, and upon hearing Francesco make insults about Mater himself, even learning from Sally that she also likes Francesco for his open wheels, takes over the call to talk things out with Francesco.
