In Pixar’s Cars 2, which worldwide racing event is organized to promote Allinol fuel?

In Pixar’s Cars 2, the worldwide racing event organized to promote Allinol fuel is the World Grand Prix.

The event is arranged by oil magnate Sir Miles Axlerod, who presents Allinol as a clean alternative fuel. Races take place in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London, giving the sequel an international setting unlike the mostly American locations of the first Cars film.

The World Grand Prix also provides the framework for the film’s spy plot. Mater becomes involved after meeting Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell, while sabotage threatens the racers and the public. The fuel promotion is therefore both a sporting storyline and a central part of the conspiracy.

The Piston Cup belongs primarily to Lightning McQueen’s domestic racing career. It is not the global event featured in Cars 2, although many familiar Cars characters appear around both competitions.
