Line 5:
* The AKF code name used in later models of the Super Asurada is derived from the initials of '''A'''surada (car), '''K'''azami (original designer, Hiroyuki Kazami or driver, Hayato Kazami), and '''F'''ortran (designer). In the ''Sin'' OVA series, most of the Sugo car models (including the AKF) also included the initial G for Sugo's new engine manufacture/sponsor '''G'''io.
* In the episode 29 and 30 of the TV series, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_HSR 1991 Mitsubishi HSR-III] concept car appeared under cooperation by Mitsubishi Motors. It was different from the real concept car, the car was set as a driverless car that can talk.
* The name of "Knight Schumacher" ([[Spell My Name With an "S"|seen spelled as "Shoemach" in the series]]) is in reference to ''Michael Schumacher'' who won the Formula Three German championship in 1990. The reason for the name was because it seemed to be a fitting name for a fast driver. The staff was rather surprised when they learned that Michael Schumacher debuted in Formula One racing that same year in 1991. For this reason, Knight Schumacher wears the racing suit of Benetton Formula in the final episode of the TV series. Additionally in a case of life imitating art, Knight Schumacher during his second season used numerous 'dirty' tricks and tactics; something Michael Schumacher would later be accused of several years later.

* [[No Export for You]]: Due to poor sales of the US DVD brick set of the TV series (probably due to its hefty price tag and the series' obscurity within the States), it's highly unlikely that the OVA sequels will ever the see light of day in the US. This also includes the games and drama CD's based on the series.
** So far, only the SNES game based on the TV series was released in the US, but the references of the anime were mostly removed.
