In Pixar's Cars 2 (2011), what international race does Lightning McQueen enter?

In Pixar's Cars 2 (2011), Lightning McQueen enters the World Grand Prix.

The World Grand Prix is a three-race international competition created by oil magnate Sir Miles Axlerod. Its events take place in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. McQueen competes for the United States, while Francesco Bernoulli represents Italy and becomes his principal on-track rival.

The race gives Cars 2 a broader setting than the first film. Instead of concentrating mainly on Radiator Springs and American stock-car racing, the sequel moves through several famous international locations. Mater travels with McQueen and becomes involved in an espionage plot involving alternative fuel and secret agents.

The World Grand Prix should not be confused with the Piston Cup. The Piston Cup is the stock-car championship central to Cars and Cars 3, while the World Grand Prix is the fictional international event created specifically for Cars 2.
