In Pixar's Cars 3 (2017), which training center helps Lightning McQueen prepare for his comeback?

In Pixar's Cars 3 (2017), the Rust-eze Racing Center helps Lightning McQueen prepare for his comeback.

The high-tech facility is owned by Rust-eze, McQueen's longtime sponsor, and is designed to train racers with modern data, simulation, and exercise equipment. McQueen goes there after a new generation of racers, led by Jackson Storm, begins dominating the competition.

The center represents the technological shift in professional racing. McQueen initially struggles with the training program because its methods differ from the experience-based approach that made him successful. Cruz Ramirez works there as a trainer, but she later becomes central to McQueen's renewed understanding of racing.

The Rust-eze Racing Center is not the same as McQueen's home base in Radiator Springs. It is a specialized corporate training facility introduced in Cars 3. The film contrasts its advanced equipment with Doc Hudson's older, more personal lessons.
