Lightning McQueen

• Wants: To be the first rookie racer to win the Piston cup and thereby gain a lucrative endorsement deal with Dinoco Oil.

• Needs: To be a part of a team with close friendships and love.

• Change: Realizing that fame and the Piston cup are not the most important things in life.

• Flaws: Dislikes his current, unflattering sponsorship with Rust-Eez Medicated Bumper Ointment and his lack of enthusiasm for non-sports cars.

• Conflict: He is conflicted about his love for Sally and Radiator Springs and the thought of being a winner and fame.
