I meant to post this discovery back in my GT5 days. I could not find a proper thread for GT5 easter eggs so I apologize for this small inconsistency. Also either notify me to delete this post or delete it entirely if this was an already uncovered secret.
I was and still am a fan of the Wangan Midnight series, both through the manga and the racing games. With that said, I made (with utmost unoriginality) to replicate and tune the Devil Z in Gran Turismo 5 as best as I could using the Nissan 240ZG.
As soon as the car was ready from the works, I decided to take it down Special Stage Route 7 with a one-make race in mind for thematic purposes. What was supposed to be an all-Z event turned out to be a terrifying realization.
From the starting point of the one-make up until the first left-hand turn, I had already made it to second position with relative ease. Though as soon as I reached the first section time, I was down by the pole AI of more than ten seconds. This gap grew further and further as the lap progressed. Before reaching the end of the first lap, the pole car recorded a gap of over one-minute to me. At that moment, I was at disbelief. My Z was tuned for power and specialized gear ratios for this specific purpose. It burned through all of the other Zs but why was it lagging behind?
I decided to back out from the race and look upon the line-up once more to check what car was being driven. (I apologize for the low phone quality.)
This is what I saw at first:

I was still skeptical of how another Z could pull so far ahead in one lap against a dead-end build of a Devil Z. I clicked on the replay and I discovered the true nature:

They never "Got rid" of the JPS livery, they just didn't have the original text on there (just as Codemasters did).
I can only assume that because this signage is on a fictional street circuit based in a real city (at the time it was modeled), it might be a small exception.
Apart from that, completely unsure.

Is that the case in Spain? If so, then that's quite...interesting.

Interesting find: Lamborghini Miura P400 Bertone Prototype CN.0706 '67
In photo mode I zoomed in "through" the rear Louvre and saw the rocker cover hidden below....
This is not visible from the outside view of the car
