- —'Miguel Camino', Cars 2: The Video Game and Cars: Fast as Lightning, [[{{{3}}}]]
Miguel Camino is a Spanish racer who participates in the World Grand Prix. Since then, he has made various appearances, making him a recurring character in the Cars series.
History
Cars 2
In Cars 2, Miguel is invited from Spain by Miles Axlerod to compete in his World Grand Prix series, in order to promote allinol to the entire world. According to Brent Mustangburger and David Hobbscap, he has been really consistent, especially in technical turns. During the first race in Tokyo, he is the first to get his engine blown by the lemons' electromagnetic generator, which has been made in an attempt to show that allinol, amongst other alternative fuel, is entirely dangerous. He calls into the pits right away to retire, while his pit crew, led by Petro Cartalina and including pitty Honk Cho, investigate the issue.
At the second race in Porto Corsa, Miguel gets into a tangle with Shu Todoroki, who has just had another engine failure also caused by an electromagnetic pulse. Max Schnell, who cannot stop in time, collides with the two of them, thus blocking the track on the bridge around the casino. With the racers' safety in jeopardy, Axlerod announces that the final race in London shall not require the use of allinol. Therefore, Miguel chooses his own fuel for that race, though it is soon to be abrupted when Mater comes onto the track with Lightning McQueen chasing him and later taking them both through the streets of London. Axlerod is soon revealed to be the mastermind of the lemons, and Miguel competes in the Radiator Springs Grand Prix with all the other World Grand Prix racers.
