What is the name of the race held in Japan in Pixar’s Cars 2?

The race held in Japan in Pixar’s Cars 2 is the Tokyo Grand Prix.

The Tokyo Grand Prix is the opening event of the World Grand Prix, an international racing competition organized by Sir Miles Axlerod. Lightning McQueen enters the event, while Mater becomes involved in the spy storyline after being mistaken for an American agent.

The race takes place through Tokyo’s streets and includes illuminated city landmarks, elevated roadways, and a dramatic nighttime atmosphere. McQueen competes against Francesco Bernoulli, an Italian Formula-style racer who becomes his principal sporting rival in the film.

Cars 2 uses the World Grand Prix as the framework for an international adventure that moves from Japan to Italy and the United Kingdom. The Tokyo race therefore introduces both the film’s global scale and the conflict involving alternative fuel, espionage, and sabotaged racers.
