Jeff Gorvete

Jeff Gorvette, voiced by three-time Daytona 500 winner Jeff Gordon, is an American Corvette C6 Le Mans Sports car and the #24 race car of the World Grand Prix. His name is a pun on his voice actor and his car model, and his car number is the same one borne by Gordon's racecar in the Sprint Cup Series. Jeff Gorvette, just as Gordon did in real life, moved from his hometown of Vallejo, California to Indiana to be closer to the racing world. Gorvette #24's crew chief is John Lassetire, a big yellow American Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck and an obvious reference to his voice cameo actor, Pixar director John Lasseter.[28] The character does not appear in international versions of Cars 2. In two scenes (one where Lightning meets him at the party in Tokyo, and another when that scene appears in Mater's nightmare), Gorvette is replaced by a completely different character, voiced by a regionally better known racer than Jeff Gordon. Most of them share the body shape with Max Schnell: Mark Winterbottom as Frosty (Australian release)[29][30] Fernando Alonso (Spanish release) Vitaly Petrov (Russian release) Jenson Button as Nigel Gearsly (British Release) Jan Nilsson as Flash (Swedish release)[31] Memo Rojas (Latin American release) Sebastian Vettel as Sebastian Schnell (German release)
