Trivia[]
- Although the event revolves around European cars produced before 1970, only two races take place in Europe, with the Nürburgring Nordschleife taking place in Germany and Opera Paris taking place in France.
- Furthermore, Deep Forest Raceway featured in the event would end up being retroactively located in Switzerland in Gran Turismo 7.
- This is the only GT4 European event that rewards the player with a special car.
