[[File:GeraldCar.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Gerald behind Fletcher]]In ''[[Cars: The Video Game]]'', Gerald and Fletcher are awaiting [[Lightning McQueen]]'s arrival at [[Flo's V8 Café]].

While Fletcher does most of the talking, Gerald appears to side with Fletcher.

Gerald can later be found at Flo's V8 Café not too long after Lightning returns from his first Piston Cup race, striking up a competition between him and Fletcher, El Guapo and Papo. They get into an argument about who has better rims, with Gerald appearing to side with Fletcher. He then competes in a [[North Desert Dash|race]] through the desert area east of the courthouse.

[[File:Gerald.PNG|thumb|Gerald about to race in North Willy's Butte]]In ''[[Cars: Mater-National Championship]]'', Gerald appears as a minor non-playable character that is first seen as an opponent in the [[North Willy's Butte]] race. He is not involved in the cutscene, so it is presumed that he was recruited to join the race.

He can later be found as a competitor in [[Ornament Valley Airport (event)|Ornament Valley Airport]], and again in [[Luigi and Guido's Team Relay|Luigi and Guido's Team Relay 3]], where he is on an opposing team with Fletcher and [[Yuri]]. Gerald also appears as an opponent in [[Canyon Run]].

==General information==

===Physical description===
+
Gerald appears to be a [[Jaguar]] XK-E. He is painted a dark purple, with the number 4 painted on his doors, surrounded by a white circle. His license plate reads "Gerald".
+
===Personality and traits===
+
Gerald seems to be very shy, speaking only when hit or performing well in a race. He is often seen hiding behind Fletcher while he does the talking, staying quiet and observing the situations they are in. Because of his quotes, he seems to be very intelligent.
*In the PC version of ''Cars: The Video Game'', his model is shaped slightly different, his side window is different, his headlights are larger, and his hood is taller. He also has differently colored eyes, one is normally brown, and the other yellow.
+
*All of Gerald's voice clips were re-enacted in ''Cars: Mater-National Championship'', likely because they sounded too simllar to those of [[Count Spatula]], who was also re-enacted.
+
*His icon in ''Cars: The Video Game'' depicts him only as a Jaguar, without any Porsche traits.
+
*According to his physics file, Gerald is one of the lightest cars, meaning if the player were to brake directly affront a CPU-controlled Gerald, the opponent would slam into them, flip over, and "skate" forwards, and then the game will automatically flip them back up and they will continue as normal.[[File:Gerald weighs a feather.jpg|none|thumb|220x220px|This glitch as it happens]]{{Cars: The Video Game}} {{Cars: Mater-National Championship}}
