- Although, despite having two bios that implies that he races in the World Grand Prix. He actually doesn't in the film, making them misleading.
- Frosty is the one of the two Super Chase racers from the 1:55 scale die-cast line to have variants. Ranging from a Silver Racers one, Neon Racers, Ice Racers and Carbon Racers variant.
- Vitaly Petrov received one variant via the Ice Racers line.
