J.P. Drive,[1] also commonly referred to as "JP Drive",[2] is a Next-Gen Piston Cup racer currently being sponsored by Apple.
History[]
Cars 3[]
In Cars 3, after Jackson Storm wins at the Copper Canyon Speedway, sponsors begin to fire their veteran racers in favor of "Next-Gen" Racers, who are much more physically capable. Apple, Inc. fires an unknown veteran Apple racer and replaces him with J.P., who is then seen finishing second at the Rustbelt Raceway, seventeenth at the Georgia Motor Speedway, and second at the Heartland Motor Speedway. He later appears in the Florida 500, where he is seen in the very lowest positions, starting in twenty-ninth, and later spending most of his time in thirty-first place. During a multi-car crash, J.P. hits Steve Slick LaPage, who had just gotten hit by Cam Spinner, the one who started the crash. He is badly damaged and does not finish the race. However, he is seen racing when Cruz Ramirez enters the pit stop. This is most likely due to an animation goof.
