Sea of Marmara
From Pixar Cars Wiki
The Sea of Marmara, is the inland sea, entirely within the borders of Turkey, that connects the Black Sea to the Aegean Sea, thus separating Turkey's Asian and European lands. The Bosphorus strait connects it to the Black Sea and the Dardanelles strait to the Aegean Sea. The former also separates Istanbul into its Asian and European sides.
Growing up, Vecihi used to fly over the sea while racing.
