Trivia[]
- He is the only character who debuted in Cars: Fast as Lightning.
- Just like Vitaly Petrov, his paint job of the Russian flag is inaccurate where the blue is in front while the red is in the middle and the white is on the back just like on Petrov's.
- Coincidentally both are from Russia.
- It is also possible that Pyotr might've been made to be a replacement for Vitaly Petrov for the ICE update for the game due to copyright/licensing issues with the actual Vitaly Petrov.
- His main artwork is a flipped version of one of Max Schnell's promotional artwork for Cars 2.
- On a promotional image for the ICE update Pyotr's ICE artwork is a recoloring for Vitaly Petrov's artwork.
- Pyotr shares the same number with Memo Rojas Jr., being 14.
