In Pixar's Cars 2, what is the name of the World Grand Prix's apparent founder?

In Pixar's Cars 2, Miles Axlerod is presented as the founder of the World Grand Prix. He appears to be an eccentric former oil baron who has converted to electric power and promotes the race as a demonstration of alternative fuel.

The film later reveals that Axlerod is secretly the mastermind behind the plot involving Allinol, the World Grand Prix, and attacks on participating racers. His public identity and apparent environmental message conceal the film's central villainous scheme.

Professor Zündapp is another major antagonist, but he serves as Axlerod's associate rather than the ultimate organizer. Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell are spies working against the conspiracy, so neither is the event's founder.
