Trivia

  • One of the earliest known cover changes to make sure it was as accurate as possible. EA updated the sponsors on the car, and even mention / thank them in the Copyright text on the back of the game case.
  • The Greatest Hits release came after the ESRB re-wrote their descriptors. Hence the E for Everyone on it.
