In Pixar’s Cars 2, which country hosts the World Grand Prix races?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar’s Cars 2, the World Grand Prix races take place in Japan, Italy, and England.

The international competition is organized by Miles Axlerod and begins in Tokyo, continues in Porto Corso, Italy, and concludes in London, England. The locations give the film a globe-spanning structure and provide distinctive settings for its racing and espionage plot.

The World Grand Prix is presented as an effort to promote Allinol, an alternative fuel. Mater becomes involved in an international spy adventure after being mistaken for an agent, while Lightning McQueen competes for the racing title.

The film’s locations are sometimes reduced to the three city names rather than the countries. Tokyo, Porto Corso, and London are the host cities; Japan, Italy, and England are the corresponding country or national setting answers.
