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 [[wikipedia: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 Withwith 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.

* [[Talking to Himself]]: Junichi Kanemaru, Hayato's seiyuu, also played as V8. Yes, you heard right. He also played as '''a dog'''.
** [[Bin Shimada]] played both Gudelhian and Hiyoshi, [[Nobutoshi Canna]] played Leon and Katagiri, Naoki Tatsuta voiced Bootsvorz and Ryohei (in ''Saga''), [[Yuri Amano]] played Kyoko and Satsuki and so on...
* [[What Could Have Been]]: According to the Japanese version of the [[Other Wiki]], the staff of the TV series originally wanted to make a ''[[Speed Racer (Anime)|Speed Racer]]'' type of show, but the "F1 Boom" in Japan happened at the time during the stages of production, and this is what it eventually became of the series.
