Mainline series chronology
Preceded by	World of Cars (2007-08)

This article is about the 1:55 scale die-cast toy series. For the video game, see Cars: Race-O-Rama.

The Race O Rama Series was the fourth series of 1:55 scale die-casts made by Mattel.

Mainline

The fourth iteration of the Cars mainline was the first not to re-release every existing model (exempting WOC and Sarge due to unique circumstances); of the 68 non-Chase cars produced so far, only 50 saw re-issue on standard-size ROR blister cards.

Near the end of Race-O-Rama's run, it brought the first-ever change to both the line's packaging size and vehicle design: From summer 2009 onwards, mainline vehicles were released in a smaller, see-through card design, and featured lenticular eyes that could be viewed in two different positions. The only exception were new Chase cars, which retained the traditional fixed eye expressions.

Trivia

• As previously mentioned, the Lightning McQueen single now features the movie accurate ¨Rust-Eze¨ logo on the spoiler like the other McQueen variants released since World of Cars.
  • Surprisingly, this was the only Lightning McQueen that China corrected, as the rest of the Lightning McQueens released from 2006-2007 didn´t get that treatment until 2022 and 2024, where Thailand corrected Bug Mouth McQueen and Cactus Lightning McQueen.
  • Similarly, Dinoco Lightning McQueen also recieved the movie accurate ¨Dinoco¨ logo on his spoiler, like Bling Bling McQueen, although unlike Lightning McQueen, his Dinoco variant only recieved that treatment in his lenticular releases.
• This is the first time since 2007 that Sarge got re-released.
• The original prototype of Night Vision Lightning McQueen shown in San Diego Comic Con 2008 looks completely different from it´s final release, it originally used a regular McQueen body without a mouth plate and the night vision googles covered his eyes, unlike the final release where they are above his eyes.
