History[edit]
Cars 2[edit]
In Cars 2, Raoul ÇaRoule was seen catching up in the dirt section in Tokyo. He was also seen passing Francesco Bernoulli by using the same skill that Lightning McQueen used to pass him gaining second but after heading back on asphalt he dropped positions drastically. He finished in last place in Tokyo. In Porto Corsa he could be seen in the last position when the race started. Later he was seen ahead of Miguel Camino and Rip Clutchgoneski when the racers headed down towards the Casino Bridge. He reappears later trying to stop himself from crashing into the pileup with Rip Clutchgoneski but fails in the process. He didn't finish the race as a result. In London he could be seen ahead of Rip in 10th place still holding the position after they raced through the Admiralty Arch. Raoul ÇaRoule also appears in the Radiator Springs Grand Prix race, admiring the crowd with Rip Clutchgoneski. During the race he can be seen having fun jumping through the dirt as the WGP racers watch him. He was later seen in 4th place but his position dropped to 5th due to Mater passing him with his rockets.
Cars 2: The Video Game[edit]
In Cars 2: The Video Game, Raoul is a playable character that is unlocked at the beginning of the game. He is a light weight that focuses on speed more than power.
Planes[edit]

Cars: Fast as Lightning[edit]

His building, Raoul's Pit, is also unlocked at the same point he is. Raoul also has three additional paint jobs, Vive le France, French Flag, and ICE, all of which can be unlocked by earning the appropriate amount of stickers.
Raoul's races take place on Raoul's Track, and his opponents include Fillmore, Neon DJ, Flo, Jet-Black SnotRod, Mater the Greater Tow Mater, Spanish Flag Miguel Camino, Carnaval Carla Veloso, and Holley Shiftwell.
General information[edit]
Physical appearance[edit]
Raoul is a 1999 Citroën C4 World Rally Car., based on Sebastien Loeb's Citroën C4 Hymotion4 WRC. During the production of the film, Citroën contacted Pixar complaining Raoul looked too much like their hatchback. Character art director Jay Shuster had to make a diagram of the character pointing out all the differences, and how the cars weren't the same. He has a top speed of 124.3 mph, with a zero-70 of 5.5 seconds. His engine type is a 1.6 liter turbocharger 4-cylinder. He has a horsepower of 300, with an all wheel drive. He is painted in the French national colors, blue, white and red, with the letters "GRC[disambiguation needed]", an allusion to the WRC, the World Rally Championship, written in blue across the white column. He has chrome rims, in which some spokes are painted red.
Written on his tires is the phrase "Rouler Vite", which translates to "Roll Fast" in French, or more in context, "Drive Fast". A smaller inscription reads P210/70R18 99S.
Personality and traits[edit]
Raoul is humble and confident out on the track, and remains friendly to other racers and cars off the track. While he races, Raoul has an enthusiastic attitude, often shouting words of accomplishment out loud.
Powers and abilities[edit]
Raoul is one of the most talented French rally cars in the world, and as such, was invited to the World Grand Prix to compete against ten of the other greatest champions around the globe. Cars 2: The Video Game reveals that he is a lightweight racer, and has little physical power, but he makes up for that with his incredible speed.
