The former European colony and newly independent Republic of New Rearendia is desperate to put their name on the map – the #10 open-wheeled racer Rip Clutchgoneski is their best bet. After putting together a remarkable string of qualifying races, Rip’s entry into the World Grand Prix is clearly the Cinderella story of the competition. Though Rip credits luck for his chance on the international stage, it’s really skill and exuberance that brought the proud New Rearendian racer to the starting line.
In the movie, Rip Clutchgoneski was the second car to be exploded by the Lemons' machine in the Tokyo race. He was also seen in the Italy and London races. He is also seen in the Radiator Springs Grand Prix. In the race in Porto Corsa, he was the last one to crash into the huge crash, at the same time as Raoul ÇaRoule.
