Where is the final race of Pixar’s Cars 2 held?

The final race of Pixar’s Cars 2 is held in London.

The London race is the final leg of the World Grand Prix, the international competition organized by Miles Axlerod. Lightning McQueen competes in the event while Mater investigates the espionage plot involving the racers and their fuel.

The sequence uses recognizable London landmarks, including Big Ben and the area around Buckingham Palace. It turns the city into both a racing circuit and the setting for the film’s climactic confrontation.

Cars 2 also features World Grand Prix races in Tokyo and Porto Corsa. Those locations should not be confused with London: Tokyo hosts the opening race, Porto Corsa hosts the second, and London hosts the finale. Radiator Springs is the main setting of the first Cars film, not the final race in Cars 2.
