Regional Differences

To do: Some (but not all) BPS banners on the track were changed to Jaleco in the US version.

In the Japanese version, the default car names are two-letter identifier (after TYPE- prefix) that hint at the car's real name. The English versions change it to generic names, numbered based on car ID in the game. Because of this change, one name, TYPE-7, went to Mazda RX-7 to Mitsubishi GTO, the seventh car in the game. The game does allow you to change the car names to side-step them and give them real names if player desires it.
