Trivia[]
- The Jeff Gordon 3D model used for the introduction of the event, among with one of the event's failure messages ("The car is heavy"), has become an inside joke within the Gran Turismo community.
- A number of unused voice clips exists within the game's data files, some of them suggesting scrapped challenges, including one where Gordon plays the role of a spotter for the player.[1]
