Continuity mistake: Before the race in Thomasville Cruz has the 20 number only on her right side but later she has the number also on her left.
Continuity mistake: When McQueen almost hits Smokey he stops few inches away from him, but in the next shot that distance increases notably.
Suggested correction: It's set in McQueen's perspective.
It's not in McQueen's perspective. We see both cars from a different angle, and they are further apart than the initial stopping point.
Continuity mistake: Near the beginning of the movie, as Lightning McQueen prepares for the race, Mater tells everyone to be quiet for Lightning McQueen. We get a shot of Lightning McQueen from inside Mack's trailer, outside the window there is a wall and there's nothing on it, but as the camera switches angles from Doc Hudson back to McQueen, there is graffiti on that wall.
Continuity mistake: During the Los Angeles 500, the Next-gen Carbon Cyber racer Chris Roamin' can be seen behind McQueen. However, when McQueen crashes, Roamin' is nowhere to be seen and instead the Next-gen Nitroade racer Tim Treadless and Next-gen Easy Idle racer Harvey Rodcap are behind McQueen.
