Paris Race

"Paris Race" was a deleted scene in Cars 2. There would've been a race which would been held in Paris. During the race, Mater sees the weapon, which the bad guys are using to sabotage the racers. As Mater arrives to the place, it just turns out to be a schoolteacher who had a red plastic ball. The cops surround Mater, about to put him in jail.
