NCS Game Notes
* The intro to the game shows a pair of cars sliding in synchronicity before shifting to various cars on tracks as they drift.

* In the main game, the original, 2001-2005 series of D1 races may be played.

* Only 20 out of a possible 36 drivers are available at the outset. If you attempt to highlight a secret driver, "yellow SECRET tape is plastered over the guy's stats".

* Three commentators on the bottom left of the screen comment on performance throughout a run. If you're driving poorly, they'll literally ice up to indicate how cold your performance is.
