In Pixar's Cars 3, what is the name of the racing school where Cruz Ramirez works?

Cruz Ramirez works at the Rust-eze Racing Center in Pixar's Cars 3.

The center is a modern training facility used by Rust-eze to prepare racers. Cruz begins the film as a trainer there, using simulators and technical exercises to coach Lightning McQueen after he becomes determined to return to competition.

The facility represents the difference between McQueen's old-fashioned experience and the data-driven methods used by newer racers. McQueen initially dislikes the simulations and training program, but Cruz's knowledge becomes essential as they develop a more effective approach together.

Cruz is not only a trainer: she is also a talented racer who has abandoned her own competitive ambitions. The story eventually gives her the opportunity to race for herself. The Rust-eze Racing Center should not be confused with the Piston Cup, which is the championship series, or with Radiator Springs, where much of the original film takes place.
