What is the name of the international racing tournament in Pixar's Cars 2?
Answer
World Grand Prix
The international racing tournament in Pixar's Cars 2 is the World Grand Prix.
Sir Miles Axlerod creates the event to promote Allinol, a supposedly clean alternative fuel. Lightning McQueen enters the competition, which takes him and his team to multiple international venues. Mater becomes entangled in the parallel spy story after he is mistaken for an American agent.
The World Grand Prix should not be confused with the Piston Cup. The Piston Cup is the domestic stock-car championship central to the first Cars film, while the World Grand Prix is a fictional international event created for Cars 2. Its races take place in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London.
