In Pixar’s Cars 2, which international racing series is organized by Sir Miles Axlerod?

In Pixar’s Cars 2, Sir Miles Axlerod organizes the World Grand Prix.

The World Grand Prix is an international three-race competition created to promote Allinol, a new alternative fuel. Lightning McQueen enters the event, while Mater becomes involved in an espionage plot after being mistaken for an undercover agent.

The races take place in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. This global structure takes the Cars story beyond Radiator Springs and introduces settings inspired by real cities and racing environments. The film combines sports competition with spy-movie elements.

Sir Miles Axlerod presents himself as an environmentally minded former oil baron, but the story reveals that his public image conceals a larger scheme. The World Grand Prix is distinct from the Piston Cup, which is Lightning’s domestic stock-car championship in the first film.
