In Pixar's Cars 2, what is the name of the race held in London at the film's finale?

The story behind the answer

The London race at the finale of Pixar's Cars 2 is part of the World Grand Prix.

The World Grand Prix is the international racing competition created for Cars 2. Its races take place in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London, with Lightning McQueen representing Radiator Springs and competing against elite racers such as Francesco Bernoulli.

The London event serves as the film's climactic race and takes place around recognizable landmarks, including Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster. The competition is also tied to the film's espionage plot, since a new alternative fuel called Allinol becomes central to the villains' scheme.

The Piston Cup belongs to the racing world of the first Cars film, so it is an easy answer to choose incorrectly. Cars 2 expands the series from American stock-car racing into an international spy adventure, making the World Grand Prix its defining sporting event.
