- As this R&D event is based on the event for the Lotus Evora Sport 410, many of the same tips and warnings for that event apply here:
- In Test .026., be careful of taking the cave shortcut route, as infected AIs tend to take the long route faster than the player can take the cave shortcut route.
- The time limit for Test .042. can be difficult to keep track of as Infected races do not display the player's race time until the post-race results are shown. The traffic and infected AI racers also increase the chances of a Wreck (especially with Infection Overload), making Test .042. very perilous.
Trivia
- Main article: Research & Development/Mazda RX-8 Special Edition/Quotes
- Similar to the Lotus Evora Sport 410's R&D, the quote for Test 31 mentions The Great Wall but Patagonia is used instead. The Great Wall is used for Test 38 but as an Ultimate AI Challenge instead of a Race Time goal.
- Test 33 mentions Venice but Tenerife is used instead. Venice is used for Test 32 but does not have a Race Time goal.
