However, McQueen has set his sight on one goal – racing The Stig at Top Gear’s test track. Who will win? Before you hit the play button, here are some comparisons between The Stig and Lightning McQueen: –
The Stig
- Never talks.
- Name derived from the school where creators Jeremy Clarkson and Andy Wilman went to – new boys at the school were called ‘Stig’.

- Loves listening to music when shattering lap records.
Lightning McQueen
- Talks a lot.
- Named after the late Pixar animator, Glenn McQueen.
- Animators drew inspiration from boxer Muhammad Ali, NBA star Charles Barkley, quarterback Joe Namath and rap/rock singer Kid Rock to create the cocky but likeable character.
