After the retire of three cars, this has led some to suggest that [[Allinol]], could be the cause of the accidents.

After they head back to the main straights. The race was won by Francesco Bernoulli ahead of Lightning McQueen and Carla Veloso.

The fastest racers quickly take the first places at the end of the first straight line. Francesco Bernoulli is in first position, but has some difficulties on the dirt section. At the end of lap 1, while he had just passed three cars in the straightway, Miguel Camino (5th) had his engine explode and goes back to the pits, immediately taken care of by his team. During the rest of the race, Lightning McQueen and Bernoulli swap places, McQueen catching up on the dirt and Bernoulli in the straightaways. At the end of lap 34, Rip Clutchgoneski's (3rd) engine blew up and spun out with Carla Veloso and Max Schnell barely avoiding him. In turn 26 (360° loop), Mater gives him a bad indication, and McQueen moves to the outside. Bernoulli takes advantage of this and passes first in the last 8 laps.

In the last straightaway, McQueen moves to the right and tries to overtake Bernoulli, to no avail. Bernoulli crosses the finish line 106 milliseconds before McQueen.[N 2] Behind, Veloso finishes just before Shu Todoroki. Lewis Hamilton arrives alone with a comfortable advantage on the last peloton composed of Nigel Gearsley, Jeff Gorvette, and Raoul ÇaRoule, who arrives a few seconds later.
