Opponents[]
Almost all opponent names for this event are related to what they drive in real life, only with first initials changed. For example, the opponent name R. Duval being assigned to Honda weider HSV-010 '11 is reference to Loic Duval driving said car. Some exceptions to this are P. De La Fuente being assigned to Toyota Castrol TOM'S SUPRA '97 (a reference to Pedro de la Rosa driving the car) and B. Thierry being assigned to the Nissan XANAVI NISMO GT-R '08 (referring to Benoit Tréluyer driving the car), where the surnames were changed instead of the first initials.
These opponent names are also used in the Suzuka Circuit 10-Lap Challenge.

Trivia[]
- Unlike the Super GT300 Championship, only Detailed/Premium GT500 cars are used as opponent cars.
- A special Seasonal Event was held in 2014 with similar opponent list as used in this event, but with real driver names.
- While André Couto competes as a Macau national in real life, his in-game counterpart, B. Coute, is listed with a Portuguese flag (Couto's country of birth) as the game does not have a Macau player flag. This is also true in the aforementioned 2014 Seasonal Event.
