Trivia[]
.jpg){kind=link}
The originally planned livery for the Porsche 962 C '88 used in the Sprint Race. The base livery was changed in the actual event.
.jpg){kind=link}
The livery used in the actual Sprint Race, as given out from the Nations Cup Viewers Campaign.
- The Viewers Campaign page on the Gran Turismo website and initial livestream thumbnails for the event featured a different base livery for the Porsche 962 C '88 used for the Sprint Race, which was changed in the actual event.
- The initial version of the thumbnails also had Dunlop logos edited out from the cars, although it is still visible on one of the Japanese liveried 962s on the Nations Cup thumbnail. This version of the thumbnail can still be found on PlayStation's YouTube and Twitch channels.
- A blue Ferrari 296 GTB was shown at the event, before the car was added officially to the game in the Spec III update. It is worth noting that a car's presence at a live event does not necessarily indicate that the car could be coming to a future update or installment of the game.
