In Pixar's Cars 2, what is the name of the Italian race track town?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar's Cars 2, the Italian race track town is Porto Corsa.

Porto Corsa is the setting for the second World Grand Prix race. The fictional location is presented as a picturesque Italian coastal town, with a course that passes through streets and scenic seaside areas.

The World Grand Prix moves between three major settings: Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. Each race has a different visual identity, allowing the film to combine international motorsport with its spy-adventure plot.

Porto Corsa is sometimes confused with real Italian racing venues, but it is a fictional Cars setting. The name combines “porto,” meaning port, with “corsa,” meaning race or run in Italian, fitting the town's coastal and motorsport themes.
