Lightning McQueen will make an appearance at this weekend's Italian Grand Prix, with the Cars character set to take an honorary lap around Monza.
It is 20 years since the first Cars film was released, and Formula 1 and Disney are using one of the sport's most famous races to mark the anniversary.
McQueen has arrived at Monza with a new F1-inspired design, while the Mercedes-AMG safety car used at grands prix has also been given a Cars makeover for the weekend.
The Monza plans are the latest part of F1's tie-up with Disney, which was recently extended until 2028. Cars has also been brought into the collaboration for the first time.
The collaboration initially centred on Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters and made its race-weekend debut at last year's Las Vegas Grand Prix, where Mickey appeared as part of a show at the Bellagio fountains.
It has since featured at races including the Chinese, Canadian and British grands prix.

McQueen, voiced by Owen Wilson, made his debut in the original 2006 film before returning in Cars 2 in 2011 and Cars 3 in 2017.
There will also be a new range of F1 and Cars merchandise available, including clothing, collectibles and die-cast models.
The Italian Grand Prix takes place from Sept. 4-6.
