Trivia[]
- The AI cars that are tuned to reach high speeds in this race do not have the gear ratios set correctly and are on their default settings. Because of this, most cars in this race are unable to reach their full speed. The only two cars that are unaffected and still can reach top speeds are the Toyota GT-One and Dodge Viper GTS.
