Trivia[]
- Some of the soundtrack from Cars 2: The Video Game return.
- The Oil Rig is the only location from Cars 2: The Video Game not to be represented by a track in Cars 3: Driven to Win.
- This game marks Mack's first appearance in a video game as a playable character.
- The level, "Chick Hicks Takedown" may have inspired Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy, where Chick Hicks challenges Lightning McQueen to a virtual race to settle their score, alongside Chick himself summoning clones to intimidate and bully McQueen.
- At the end of Cars 3, Lightning had a dark blue ''Fabulous'' paint job like Doc Hudson, but in the game's cutscenes, he has his red paint job and decals back.
- With the exception of Darrell Waltrip and Junior Johnson reprising their roles as Darrell Cartrip and Junior Moon respectively, the game features an entirely different voice cast from that in other material in the Cars franchise. One such example would be Lightning McQueen as he is not voiced by Keith Ferguson who usually replaces his main actor Owen Wilson. Instead, Lightning is voiced by Ben Rausch in the game.
- As such, this is the only Cars production where Mater is not voiced by Larry the Cable Guy, but instead Adam Burton.
- This is also the only Cars production where Sally is not voiced by Bonnie Hunt. Instead, Sally is voiced by Sofie Veloz in the game.
- Chick Hicks, despite being voiced by Bob Peterson in the film, is voiced by Jude Hillary instead. This makes Chick have a high pitched raspy voice similar to Michael Keaton, who voiced Chick in the first film.
- The game mechanics actually are similar to the Mario Kart series.
