This Cars Rip-Off Will Make You Question Everything

'Spid The Racing Car' is quite clearly a rip-off of Pixar's Cars franchise, and it's made by someone with questionable knowledge about motors...
Matt Robinson

These days, nothing is immune from being ripped off - even films. All sorts of shoddy, just-about-safe-from-the-copyright-lawyers knock-offs exist, and they’re often hilarious. Case in point? Spid the Racing Car.

Spotted by a CT colleague searching for information about Pixar’s Cars - the franchise it’s, err, riffing off - Spid the Racing Car looks to be an adorably cheap attempt to emulate Lightning McQueen. Made by someone who knows squat about cars.

Is that a wine glass holding up the track?

Watching this for the first time brings up so many questions. Like why does Sid struggle to keep up with a bulldozer? Why does he have a V-twin, and a V-twin which sounds like a V8 at that? What in the hell is a ‘turbo button’? And how can new wheels “grip the road better”?

Perhaps I’m over-thinking this, but kids TV shows are supposed to be educational. But it hit me earlier: this is educational. If you have a child, a neice/nephew, little brother or sister, sit them down to watch this, give them a note pad, and get them to write down everything that’s wrong. Their future depends on it…

I would point out all the wrong things in this video but I think all the people in this website know what they are and plus I don´t want to break the comments section with a big ass comment.

Always nice to have a mechanic who can use the force to change tyres

Thoughts:

  1. Just because you learned blender3d, doesn’t mean you should use it
  2. motorcycle engine in a 250… ok then
  3. Said motorcycle engine is actually the world’s smallest v8
  4. BUllDOZERS ARE NOT AERODYNAMIC
  5. your understanding of aerodynamics is clearly flawed
  6. The yellow gto is rice to hell
  7. why is the truck 100% black. Like, not even the eyes have color.
  8. Thats not how bridges work
  9. (watching the spaceships) THATS NOT HOW IT WORKS
  10. That fin will not do much….
  11. YOU”VE RUINED THE GTO WITH THAT DAMN EXHAUST
  12. @ 14:30, the sticker is clipping through the body.
  13. @15:01 me while go karting
  14. How can spid not get the lead over the mostertrucks? HE’S GOT A FIN!
  15. 15:22-15-26: High quality drifting
  16. the loop…
  17. At the jump: …thats not how turbo’s work…
  18. star wars: The return of the Spid
  19. I get it now.
  20. gto with tracks….
  21. silence

Also thought about 4th, but what if: They’re made out 90% carbon fiber and had a tetra-turbo V16 with 5k hp… And a spoiler?
