The World of Cars Online was a massively multiplayer online racing game based on the Cars film series. The game was under development with Open Beta, which launched on March 1, 2010.[1] There was a sneak peek of the World of Cars called the Test Track which started in October 2008 and ended in November 2009 to make way for Open Beta.[2] The site launched on June 29, 2010. Each car was given 2,010 coins, an Open Beta Participant Badge, and a Founder Badge. The game was closed down by Disney on February 8, 2012.[3][4]
