Trivia[]

CSL '73 - P. Thomas (Early)
The BMW 3.0 CSL in early builds of the game for this event. Note the lower ride height, tow hook and aftermarket wheels.
  • Despite the event being eligible for any European FR vehicle, all of the vehicles that can appear as opponents are BMW models, apart from the 190E since the 1.40 update.
  • In earlier builds of the game, the BMW 3.0 CSL's used to be modified with aero parts and tuning upgrades. However, as this was causing their vehicle behaviour to become uncontrollable, they were removed and the vehicles were reverted to stock condition.
