In Pixar's Cars 3, which training center does Lightning McQueen use to prepare for racing Jackson Storm?

In Pixar's Cars 3, Lightning McQueen uses the Rust-eze Racing Center to prepare for racing Jackson Storm.

The high-tech facility belongs to the Rust-eze team and is designed to develop a new generation of racers. McQueen arrives there after Storm's rise exposes the performance gap between veteran cars and modern competitors. The center uses simulators, data, specialized equipment, and a large training staff to measure and improve racing performance.

McQueen struggles to adapt to the center's approach because his earlier career was built on experience and instinct. His trainer, Cruz Ramirez, helps him work through the program, although their relationship changes as the film reveals Cruz's own unrealized racing ambitions.

The Rust-eze Racing Center is distinct from the Radiator Springs race track and from the Florida International Super Speedway, where the film's climactic race takes place. The training center represents the technological side of the sport that McQueen initially finds intimidating.
