It’s time to rev those engines for Disney Speedstorm’s next free update, “Piston Cup,” now available on all platforms! “Piston Cup” adds brand-new characters and crew members from Disney and Pixar’s Cars films, the Radiator Springs racing environment, additional Supercharged Racers, Vault additions, Grand Prix limited-time event, and the launch of the Ranked ladder system.
Here’s a breakdown of what’s racing out of the gate today in “Piston Cup”:
-
Lightning McQueen – This iconic Speedster is ready to leave the competition in the dust thanks to his unique abilities and skills! His passive “King of Turns” abilities ensure that he loses minimal speed while drifting, while his “Pit Stop” ability has Guido give Lightning a quick tire change and big speed boost while tossing the old tires behind him as obstacles for opponents. If players charge “Pit Stop,” Lightning strikes a pose for the cameras, blinding any nearby opponents caught in the dazzling display.
-
Tow Mater – Lightning’s loyal best friend, Tow Mater excels as a Defender. Using his tow hook, Tow Mater can snag an opponent ahead of him and pull them backwards while also propelling himself forward. If Tow Mater passes his opponent during the maneuver, he also benefits from a short speed boost. His charged ability litters the track with tractors, slowing any opponents who collide with them.
-
Cruz Ramirez – Ever cheerful and positive, Cruz Ramirez is another Speedster looking to take first place. Her uncharged ability has Cruz hop on a virtual treadmill straight from the film Cars 3, giving her a speed boost and a temporary increase in her max speed. If allies drive into the ability are they also receive a speed boost. Her charged ability causes Cruz to spin like a tornado, creating a thick fog that slows and stuns any opponent unlucky enough to drive into it.
