Evolution with every revolution ò€“ thatò€™s the bold claim Goodyear is making about its new OptiGrip tyre. The rubber is said to provide consistent performance, even as the tread depth decreases.
The blue Porsche 911...
The blue Porsche 911 and red stock car are two cute "real-life" versions of a pair of characters in the new motion picture, which is based around a gang of talking cars who get caught up in a whirlwind adventure. Featuring the celebrity voices of Owen Wilson (Starsky & Hutch), Bonnie Hunt (The Green Mile) and legendary actor Paul Newman, the computer-animated film will have its US premiere on 26 May.
However, rather than take the traditional red carpet route, Disney is giving the movie its first airing at a NASCAR race in Charlotte, North Carolina. Screens standing 50 feet tall will be erected at the track to give an anticipated 30,000 guests a view.
The story revolves around Lightning McQueen, an up-and-coming race car on the road to success who ends up taking an unexpected detour along the world-famous Route 66 highway. On his travels, he meets characters including Sarge the army Jeep, motel owner Sally (the 911) and Doc Hudson, a Sixties saloon (voiced by Newman). The film roars into UK cinemas on 28 July.
