The '''World Grand Prix''' (Japanese: '''ワールドグランプリ'''/ Italian: '''Mondiale Grand Prix''') is an international racing competition which is at the center of ''[[Cars 2]]''. The competition was created and organized by [[Miles Axlerod|Sir Miles Axlerod]] as a promotion of his new "clean alternative fuel" [[Allinol]]. The competition consists of three races: The first one in [[Tokyo]], [[Japan]]; the second one in [[Porto Corsa]], [[Italy]]; and the last one in [[London]], [[United Kingdom]].  


[[File:Globie image.jpg|thumb|[[Globie]].]][[Globie]] is the official mascot of the World Grand Prix.
A notable participant in the race is [[Lightning McQueen]]. The competition unites the 12 best racers of all race types to determine the world's fastest car (although there were only 11 competitors).
 
[[Globie]] is the official mascot of the World Grand Prix.  


Race cars from all racing categories were invited to the event, but there was no winner, as the final race was interrupted by a series of anomalies that finally ended in [[Miles Axlerod]]'s reformation. The World Grand Prix is the target of a plot to sabotage the race, directed by the evil weapons designer [[Professor Zündapp|Professor Z]]. The British master spy [[Finn McMissile]] discovered the conspiracy and organized himself to stop it. At the end of the movie, it was discovered that the WGP was used by [[Miles Axlerod|Axlerod]] to execute his evil plan of making alternative fuels look bad. It's unknown if the WGP continued after [[Cars 2]].

At the second race in [[Porto Corsa]], three other engines were blasted, those being of [[Carla Veloso]], [[Nigel Gearsley]] and [[Shu Todoroki]]. The explosion of [[Shu Todoroki]]'s engine caused him to spin, and caused multi-car pileup. [[Lightning McQueen]] won the race. At the last race in [[London]], the race was suspended because [[Tow Mater|Mater]] entered the track and brought [[Lightning McQueen]] with him off the course. After the surprise, [[Miles Axlerod]] was arrested due to the whole event being controlled by him in an attempt to twist people's opinion of alternative fuel.

*Originally, the World Grand Prix was to be composed of five races. [[Paris]] would have hosted a "Le Mans-style 24-hour race", and in [[Germany]]'s Black Forest a "rally race" would have taken place. But these races were abandoned because it was too complex to tell. However, in the Nintendo DS version of ''[[Cars 2: The Video Game]]'', they do appear.

*There were multiple guest racers that went to the welcome party for the World Grand Prix in Tokyo. However, they did not participate in the races.

The competition was created and organized by Sir Miles Axlerod as a promotion of his new "clean alternative fuel" Allinol. The competition consists of three races: The first one in Tokyo, Japan; the second one in Porto Corsa, Italy; and the last one in London, United Kingdom. A notable participant in the race is Lightning McQueen. The competition unites the 12 best racers of all race types to determine the world's fastest car (although there were only 11 competitors). Globie is the official mascot of the World Grand Prix. Race cars from all racing categories were invited to the event, but there was no winner, as the final race was interrupted by a series of anomalies that finally ended in Miles Axlerod's reformation. The World Grand Prix is the target of a plot to sabotage the race, directed by the evil weapons designer Professor Z.

The events were covered by RSN, and the races were commentated by the commentators Brent Mustangburger, Darrell Cartrip, and David Hobbscap.

Season Histories

2011

In the first WGP, the races were sabotaged. In the first race, Acer and Grem blew the engines of Miguel Camino, Rip Clutchgoneski and Max Schnell with a electromagnetic pulse emitter. After an error of Lightning McQueen, Francesco Bernoulli won the first race in Tokyo.

At the second race in Porto Corsa, three other engines were blasted, those being of Carla Veloso, Nigel Gearsley and Shu Todoroki. The explosion of Shu Todoroki's engine caused him to spin, and caused a multi-car pileup involving Miguel Camino, Max Schnell, Raoul ÇaRoule and Rip Clutchgoneski. Lightning McQueen won the race. At the last race in London, the race was suspended because Mater entered the track and brought Lightning McQueen with him off the course. After the surprise, Miles Axlerod was arrested due to the whole event being controlled by him in an attempt to twist people's opinion of alternative fuel.

World Grand Prix Events

Raceways

The World Grand Prix has three Grand Prix races. They take place on three urban circuits around the world and have a similar layout. Indeed, each track consists of fast straightaways, technical turns and a dirt section. This fair layout allows all drivers to be on an equal footing.

It was originally planned to have two more circuits. The Paris Street Circuit in France and the Black Forest Street Circuit in Germany. However, they were cancelled.

After the disaster at the London Grand Prix, a Radiator Springs Grand Prix was organized in Radiator Springs, but was not officially part of the World Grand Prix even if the rules and racers were the same.

Trivia

  • Originally, The World Grand Prix was to be composed of 5 races. Paris would have hosted a 24-hour endurance race, and in Germany's Black Forest a rally race would have taken place. They do however, appear in the DS version of Cars 2: The Video Game.
  • Depending on the country, the name "World Grand Prix" is translated to the country's language, for example, in Japan: ワールドグランプリ, in Italy: Mondiale Grand Prix.
  • Although there are 12 spots in each race, there is only an odd number of 11 racers.
  • There is no #3 racer in the World Grand Prix.
    • Jeff Gorvette was originally going to have the number #3, which is the main number real life Corvettes race with, however his number was changed to #24 as a reference to Jeff Gordon's racing number.
  • There were multiple guest racers that went to the welcome party for the World Grand Prix in Tokyo. However, they did not participate in the races.
  • Originally there were plans to feature a Porsche 911 GTS1 racer and a Ferrari F430 GTS2 racer however they did not make it to the final version of the film.
    • It is possible that they were replaced by Lewis Hamilton and Miguel Camino respectively due to their classes. The Porsche was a GTS1 racer just like Lewis while the Ferrari was a GTS2 racer like Miguel.
  • Fabrizio was originally planned to be a racer in the World Grand Prix but was instead retooled to be a background character in the final product.
    • However, he is shown racing on the Porto Corsa circuit in the mega poster for Cars 2, possibly as a callback to the initial plans for his character.
  • The World Grand Prix took inspirations from many motorsports leagues, especially Formula One. However, it also might have been inspired by the A1 Grand Prix series, that ran from 2005 to 2009 where the competitors represented their nation in a similar fashion to how racers do in Cars 2.
