  • Despite the name, mid-engine four-wheel drive cars are not admitted to the event, but they can enter 4WD Challenge instead.
  • The event's PAL name would be used for a GT League event in Gran Turismo Sport.
  • Despite being listed as V8 SE in the game, any Lotus Esprit that appears in the third race will have the body of a Lotus Esprit V8 GT '98, as evidenced by the lack of a rear wing.
