In Cars 2, Jeff is first seen at the Tokyo welcome party with Lewis Hamilton and he greets Lightning McQueen, which they were talking to each other. He sees Mater talking to the Zen Master. He appears in all 3 races including the one in Radiator Springs. He never got hit by the lemons' camera in any of the races. After the World Grand Prix Tokyo race begins, he started in the 5th position and was also last seen in the Tokyo race in the 5th position. But as well as we can see, Lewis Hamilton finished in the 5th position. In the Porto Corsa race, Jeff was seen in the first part in the 7th position. And later in the second part, he was seen in the 8th position. At the last meters to the finish line in the Porto Corsa race, Jeff Gorvette along with Lewis Hamilton was at the last position. But he must have finished the race, because Shu Todoroki's big crash blocked the track. He and Lewis were the only racers who didn't collide into the big crash. Before the last race in London, Jeff makes a quick reappearance in Mater's hallucination with Lewis, making fun of Mater, and McQueen just leaves the conversation. In the last race in London, Jeff was seen following Nigel Gearsley from the 6th position to the 5th position. Right before the race in Radiator Springs, he says to Lewis that he thinks they should do it every year. In the race, he and Lewis were next to each other in position.
Replacements
In international versions of Cars 2, Jeff is replaced in one scene by a completely different character, voiced by a regionally better known racer than Jeff Gordon. However, they only replace him in the scene where Lightning McQueen meets him at the party in Tokyo as well as in Mater's hallucination. They don't replace him in the races or when the racers are shocked at Mater drinking from the water fountain after eating a lot of wasabi. Most of these characters use the same body shape as Max Schnell. These include:
- Australia: Frosty Winterbumper
- Spain: Fernando Alonso
- Russia: Vitaly Petrov
- China: Long Ge
- Mexico: Memo Rojas Jr.
- Germany: Max Schnell
- Brazil: Carla Veloso
- France: Raoul ÇaRoule
- Sweden: Flash Nilsson
Other versions included
- France: Jeff Gorvette
