Set #9481 Jeff Gorvette: This is the only set from the small Cars assortments that represents a side character, or at least one who isn't predominant in the cast/film. Jeff Gorvette is one of the racers in the World Grand Prix from Cars 2, I think his name and personality are a play on an actual racer in our world. Can't be sure.

Gorvette here uses a similar build to most of the Cars themselves who share body types. The thing is, he's got a nice canary yellow with most of his pieces. Which is a nice change of pace from all the red you'll have by collecting a lot of the Cars sets and getting more and more Lightning McQueens. It's one of the main reasons I really wanted to get this set, the unique color of the Cars character and the pieces included with the set were a great must have item. He has printing on two plates that fit on the side which indicate where he hails from, the USA. (Plus the number 24.)

Like Francesco, Gorvette includes two additional elements, again the red and white strip of railway, or position marker for the starter line, and a small light with red and green. To start the race, it sits on a medium stone gray 2x2 brick.

I really like Gorvette, the printing on the parts makes for some interesting elements, he has the new hubcap/tire pieces in flat gray instead of silver like on McMissile and he has the spoiler on the back with World Grand Prix printed on it. Overall he's a fun little set and goes great with Francesco to set up a quick race for the kids. Toss in the Tokyo Raceway set and a few more cars and you can have loads of fun. I strongly reccomend this set especially due to that nice canary yellow.
