Trivia[]
- In Ridge Racer Type 4, the course's final S-curve, which it shares with Ocean Bay, may become difficult to drive on for faster cars, as they tend to jump right before the first curve and may cause the car to hit the wall before or as it lands.
- There is a billboard near the entrance to the second tunnel advertising a Klonoa movie, coincidently, a Klonoa movie was in the works in 2016, but it was cancelled in 2018 for unknown reasons.
- There is a sign just outside the exit of the first tunnel that reads ใชใใใฟใใ22 (Namuko mirai 22), alluding to the construction of an important landmark near that section of the track named after Namco Ltd. itself. It is unknown whether this is a reference to a real event, location or production by the company, although the number "22" is likely a nod at the Namco System 22 arcade machine board - the platform where the original Ridge Racer was first released.
