2021 World Grand Prix

The 2021 World Grand Prix was last years WGP season and considered by many the BEST WGP season ever. 14 racers wanted to enter the WGP, so a mini-competition was organized to decide which rookies enter. Only 3 from this rookies were selected and there was also a rookie who didn't took part in that competition that replaced former racer Rip Clutchgoneski. His name is Alex Rimson, and like Rip, he's from New Rearendia.

This was also the last season for Miguel Camino, Kimi Revkonen, Cruz Ramirez and Valen Trossi.

The Mumbai GP was be replaced by the Singapore GP and the Kyalami GP was introduced to the Calendar.

The most historic race of the season was Moscow, when Cruz Ramirez flipped over when in a battle for 5th place with Kurt Lefter, Kurt along Sean helped her get back to her pit, Lightning McQueen originally returned to the WGP as a backup for Cruz from Paris to Porto Corsa. but since Lightning McQueen ended up winning the Paris race as well as becoming the first backup racer to win a race and Cruz wanted to focus more on the Piston Cup, McQueen raced for the remainder of the season and won his 4th WGP Championship.

Another historic race was Kyalami where Kimi Revkonen won his first and only race in his retirement season.

Cruz then announced her retirement from the WGP after McQueen won the championship.
