History FanFicRecs / Cars

Do warn when a fanfic may head into [[BetterThanCanon non-canon]] territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, {{Shipping}} is SeriousBusiness.

* ''Synopsis'': Shortly after winning the first race of the season, Lightning McQueen, along with the King, vanish from the racetrack. The two racecars have been carnapped, and have no idea who took them or why. It's up to the Radiator Springs crew, Tex Dinoco, and a few spies to find the cars...before it's too late.
* ''Comments'': A pretty exciting fic! It takes place in an AU where Doc is still alive and was present for the events of Cars 2. It manages to incorporate elements from all three movies, and does a pretty good job of keeping everyone in character. Doc especially gets a few places to shine, and there are moments with him and Lightning that are too cute for words! There's also a few SalQueen moments, as well as a scene of Sally being the best lawyer/girlfriend McQueen could ask for.

* Pairing(s): Canon.

* ''Synopsis'': Sarge never switched McQueen's fuel during the final Grand Prix race in London.

* ''Comments'': This is a ''really'' good fic, taking the ''Cars'' verse and fusing it with the [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers the 1980s Transformers cartoon]]. Full of hilarious and awesome moments all around- both thanks to the citizens of Radiator Springs and their interaction with the Cybertronians. Also has a sequel, ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4915989/1/The-Gathering-Storm The Gathering Storm]]'', where [[spoiler: [[EmergencyTransformation the Radiator Springs residents become Cybertronians]] to combat Megatron's own conversion of Chick Hicks and the Road Hazards, and their subsequent ruination of Radiator Springs.]]

* ''Comments'': A [[GroundhogDayLoop time loop]] fic that genuinely is one of the most enjoyable Cars fics I've ever read. Watching Jackson struggle with his dilemma and his eventual character development is very compelling and made me like him so much more.

* ''Status'': Completed.
* ''Synopsis'': This story takes place in the year 2012. And this the Piston Cup Racing series have 52 racers including original characters. Lightning McQueen was having fun on the race track with his new friends until one race, a rookie racer came to the sport. Can Lightning McQueen help his new friends stay on the race track? (Only most of my Original Veterans are replaced.) Note: Cars does not belong to me. It belongs to Pixar and Disney except for my OCs. So please give them credit for the story.

* ''Comments'': This exists in an alternative universe when there are female veterans and female rookies on the track. Jackson Storm enters in the first race of the Piston Cup 2011 Season. This plot focuses on the friendship between Lightning and his friends. There is also drama, action, and surprises.

* ''Status'': Ongoing.
* ''Synopsis'': Chick, forced to play the underdog this season, finds his plagued past returning. Soon, everything is falling apart and everyone seems to want their pound of steel. So when [=McQueen=] challenges him to race, wanting to keep his pride, he accepts. Problem is Chick is still trying to figure out if the race was in his favor or not.
* ''Comments'': One of the best Cars FanFics ever. The plot always flows well, and it actually makes ''Chick Hicks'' sympathetic

* ''Status'': Complete (one shot)
* ''Synopsis'': After Lightning crashes, he has most of his parts replaced and starts going through a major identity crisis in the process. The fic is mostly seen through Sally's perspective.
* ''Comments'': This one of the fanfics that I find myself reading over again and again because it shows the amount of trust and love that Sally has with Lightning despite him going though an identity crisis. Apparently according to the author, the whole premise behind the fic revolves around the Scene in ''Cars 3'' where [=McQueen=] just stares in perplex after Cruz says she doesn't see him anywhere. Also about what [[RealitySubtext NASCAR does with wrecked cars]] which gives off some [[FridgeHorror disturbing implications.]]
