In Pixar's Cars 2, what is the name of the global race Lightning McQueen joins?

Lightning McQueen joins the World Grand Prix in Pixar's Cars 2.

The World Grand Prix is a three-race international competition organized by Miles Axlerod. McQueen enters after being challenged by Francesco Bernoulli, and the events take place in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. The races combine the film's fictional world with recognizable international settings.

The competition is presented as a showcase for alternative fuel, with the fuel company Allinol promoted as its central sponsor. That public sporting event becomes connected to a larger plot involving sabotage and a group of cars seeking revenge against the modern fuel system.

The World Grand Prix should not be confused with the Piston Cup, the domestic stock-car championship central to the first and third films. McQueen's Piston Cup career remains part of his identity, but Cars 2 places him in a new international racing environment.
