Trivia

  • The #17 variant of the 962C is censored, with "Racing" taking place of "Rothmans", due to the fact that said sponsor is a tobacco brand. In Forza Motorsport 4, however, it features the accurate "Rothmans" sponsoring. Starting with Forza Motorsport 6 and onwards, it has reverted back to "Racing".
