In Pixar's Cars, which city hosts the tiebreaker race for the Piston Cup?

Los Angeles hosts the Piston Cup tiebreaker race in Pixar's Cars.

The season ends with Lightning McQueen, Chick Hicks, and The King tied for the championship. To determine the winner, the organizers schedule a final race at the Los Angeles International Speedway. McQueen's journey toward that event is interrupted when he becomes separated from his transport and reaches Radiator Springs.

The Los Angeles race supplies the film's climactic setting. McQueen initially focuses on winning alone, but his experiences with the residents of Radiator Springs change how he treats his crew and rivals. He ultimately chooses sportsmanship during the race, even though the result is not the straightforward victory he originally wanted.

The tiebreaker should not be confused with the Florida 500 in Cars 3 or the World Grand Prix races in Cars 2. Radiator Springs is where much of the first film's character development occurs, but it does not host the championship race. The Los Angeles International Speedway is a fictional venue within the film's world.
