Characters
Trivia
- Lewis Hamilton's model, the 2009 Grand Touring Sports Special GBG, is based on the 12C#GT3 McLaren MP4-12C GT3.
- Miguel Camino's model, the 2007 Grand Touring Sports SS-E, is based on the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR.
- Nigel and Jeff are the only GTS racing cars who are modeled after a particular car. Lewis and Miguel are fictional car models who aren't an exact copy of just one car. For this reason, their models were named after the racing category in which they compete in, Grand Touring Sports. This is similar to Max Schnell's, Raoul ÇaRoule's, and Rip Clutchgoneski's naming scheme as they are named after their respective series rather than being given a specific car model name.
- The Saxon cars have GTSC (Grand Touring Sport Coupe) as part of their car model names.
