What is the name of the secret international racing series in Pixar’s Cars 2?

The secret international racing series in Pixar’s Cars 2 is the World Grand Prix. Sir Miles Axlerod creates the event to promote Allinol, a supposedly clean alternative fuel, while a hidden conspiracy uses the races for a larger scheme.

The World Grand Prix brings racers and teams to several international locations, including Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. Lightning McQueen enters the competition, and Mater travels with him. Mater’s accidental involvement in espionage begins when British agents mistake him for an undercover operative.

The series is presented as a global showcase for modern racing and alternative energy. Its polished public image contrasts with the covert plot involving modified cameras, electromagnetic weapons, and cars made to react dangerously to Allinol.

The World Grand Prix is different from the Piston Cup, the domestic stock-car competition central to the first Cars film. Cars 2 broadens the franchise from American road culture and racing into international action-adventure storytelling.
