* The USA circuit is based on the [[Long Beach Grand Prix]] street circuit. The circuit was part of the Formula One circuit from 1976–1983, but used a slightly different layout at the time.  Starting in 1984, and at the time the game was released, the Long Beach circuit was part of the [[Champ Car|CART]] series.  The layout in the game depicts the circuit's configuration at that period.  In his career, Unser, Jr. was very successful and won six times on the course, which is speculation on why the track was included in the game.
