In Pixar’s Cars 2, what is the name of the global racing competition announced by Sir Miles Axlerod?

In Pixar’s Cars 2, Sir Miles Axlerod announces the World Grand Prix.

The World Grand Prix is an international race held in three major locations: Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. Its purpose is to promote Allinol, a new alternative fuel, while bringing racers from different countries together.

Lightning McQueen enters the competition, and Mater accompanies him. Mater’s accidental involvement with secret agents turns the racing event into an espionage story. The film uses the World Grand Prix to move the characters far beyond Radiator Springs and to showcase different kinds of racing vehicles.

The locations are fictionalized versions of real places and cultures. Porto Corsa is an Italian coastal setting, Tokyo represents Japan, and London hosts the final race. The competition should not be confused with the Piston Cup, which is the domestic stock-car championship central to the first and third films.
