Production
The film's development was first announced in 2021. Filming began on October 10, 2023, and took place in Montreal, Quebec City, Morocco and Nepal.

Trogi stated that he considers the film to be the funniest in the series; he noted as well that while La Course was retitled in the film for copyright reasons, he kept the real names of key personalities who featured in the storyline, including host Pierre Therrien and judges Michel Coulombe, Louise Racicot and Manon Barbeau.

He has also stated that while there may be future films in the series, he is not currently certain of that, stating in particular that he doesn't see any comedy to be mined from his experiences directing his debut film Québec-Montréal.

Release
The film's first promotional poster was revealed in February 2024, with the film slated to open on July 31.
