- TriviaUnlike previous shows, such as Mater's Tall Tales (2008) and Tales from Radiator Springs (2013) (excluding Bugged (2013) and The Radiator Springs 500½ (2014)), this series marks the first time Owen Wilson voiced Lightning McQueen outside of the movies since basically the theme park Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy (2019).
- GoofsAt the end of the 3rd Cars movie, Lightning McQueen was wearing Doc's old paint job. But in this TV series, he was wearing his original paint job at the beginning of the series premiere, Dino Park.

Featured review
Fans of the cars series, me especially, have been waiting quite a while for new cars content to be released (other than shorts). Now with Cars: on the Road being released, I will say its a refreshing and great addition to the Cars content.
The story of the show was very enjoyable and had me laughing at some moments while also creating feelings of nostalgia and looking back to times now passed. The animation feels exactly like the first Cars movies. The overall quality of the design and characters is superb. Every episode explored a different idea allowing extended world building of the Cars franchise. I also felt that the show was very similar to Maters Tall Tales which I have a place in my heart for since I watched it when I was younger.
My only complaint would be the length of the episodes. It would've been better to make the episodes 20-30 minutes long to further explore and world build.
Overall a great show for the family and Cars fans alike (with a lot of pop culture references too).
