Profiles and Statistics
Cars 2
- Bios
- Vitaly Petrov - A racer from Russia, he takes part to international competitions in Cars, along with participants from the U.S., Japan, UK, Germany, Spain, France and Brazil.
- Vitaly Petrov is the first and only Russian race car ever to compete in the Formula World Championship. He didn't start off as a Formula racer though. In fact, there was very little motorsport in Vitaly's hometown of Vyborg, Russia, so he got most of his race training in rally sprints and ice races. After winning the Russian Rally Sprint title, he won every race in the Russian Lada Cup. Vitaly was soon on his way to the top with multiple Formula wins. With all his speed and success, it's no wonder Vitaly became known as the Vyborg Rocket.

Trivia
- He is based on, named after and voiced by Russian former Formula One driver Vitaly Petrov. His paint job is designed after the Russian flag. It includes a car-ified version of the coat of arms of Russia, that replaces the two-headed eagle with a composition of wrenches, tailfins, nuts and cogs.
- Lightning friendly calls him "Веталь" (Vetal'), which is a simplified variant of his name.
- It's an inverted Russian flag on his paint job.
- In the Russian version of the film, he is not competing in the Tokyo race, but John Lassetire named Jeff Gorvette 'Vetal'.
- On his first 1:55 scale die-cast release he was just simply called "Russian Racer".
- This was possibly due to copyright issues at the time.
- He's the only other Super Chase race car that received a variant in the 1:55 scale die-cast line via the Ice Racers line.
- The other racer was Frosty Winterbottom who received multiple variants.
- He has the same model as Max Schnell, Long Ge, Frosty Winterbottom, Memo Rojas, Jr., Flash Nilsson and Pyotr Racinov.
- Vitaly, just like the majority of Jeff's replacements, has no number in the film. However, he's assigned with the number 11 via the Ice Racers line of die-casts.
