In Pixar's Cars 3, what is Lightning McQueen's training center called?

In Pixar's Cars 3, Lightning McQueen trains at the Rust-eze Racing Center.

The center is a high-tech facility created to help the Rust-eze team compete with a new generation of computer-designed racers. Lightning arrives expecting conventional practice but finds simulators, data analysis, and specialized training methods instead.

Cruz Ramirez works there as a trainer and technician. Although she initially treats Lightning as a difficult client, the training process reveals her own racing ability. The center therefore becomes more than a setting for preparation: it helps shift the film's focus from Lightning's past achievements to Cruz's future.

The name comes from Rust-eze, the fictional bumper-ointment brand that sponsors Lightning. It should not be confused with Radiator Springs, Lightning's home community, or the Florida International Speedway, where important racing scenes take place.
