Cars 2
In Cars 2, the World Grand Prix is created by Miles Axlerod to promote his new clean fuel Allinol. The competition unites the eleven best racers of all race types to determine the world's fastest car. The event is composed of three races: Japan, Italy, and England.
The World Grand Prix is the target of a plot to sabotage the race directed by the evil weapons designer Professor Z. The British master spy Finn McMissile discovered the plot and organized himself to stop it.
