In Pixar's Cars 2, which worldwide racing event is organized by Sir Miles Axlerod?

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

The event is presented as a three-race international competition intended to promote Allinol, an alternative fuel. Races take place in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London, giving the film a much broader setting than the original Cars. Lightning McQueen competes for the United States, while Mater becomes entangled in Finn McMissile’s investigation.

The World Grand Prix is more than a sporting backdrop. The event is used in a conspiracy involving manipulated cars, Allinol, and powerful interests seeking to discredit alternative fuel. This turns the sequel into a spy adventure built around a fictional racing tour.

The Piston Cup is the domestic stock-car championship associated with Lightning in the first film. The Dinoco 400 is a separate race in the Cars universe. Sir Miles Axlerod’s title and public image conceal his deeper role in the plot.
