In Pixar's Cars 2, what race is the film's international competition called?

In Pixar's Cars 2, the international competition is called the World Grand Prix.

The World Grand Prix is organized by Miles Axlerod to promote Allinol, an alternative fuel. It brings racers from several countries together for a three-race event, giving Cars 2 a global setting that differs from the domestic Piston Cup focus of the original film.

The races take place in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. Lightning McQueen competes for the United States, while Francesco Bernoulli represents Italy and becomes his most prominent racing rival in the event. The competition also provides the cover for a conspiracy involving manipulated fuel and attacks on competitors.

The Piston Cup is the main racing championship in the first Cars and continues as a familiar series in the franchise. It is not the name of Cars 2's international tournament. The film combines the World Grand Prix plot with Mater, Finn McMissile, and Holley Shiftwell's espionage storyline.
