In Pixar's Cars 2, which race is held in Porto Corso, Italy?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar's Cars 2, Porto Corso, Italy, hosts a World Grand Prix race.

Porto Corso is a fictional Italian seaside city created for the film's second race. Its architecture and coastal setting reflect the visual influence of locations on the Italian Riviera, while the race course moves through streets and waterfront areas.

The World Grand Prix begins in Tokyo, continues in Porto Corso, and concludes in London. Lightning McQueen competes in the event, while Mater becomes increasingly involved in Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell's espionage investigation.

Porto Corso should not be confused with Portorosso, the fictional Italian town in Pixar's Luca. The similar names refer to different Pixar settings and different films.
