Odd/Funny AI Names

In the 540PP Japanese 90s seasonal event (and possibly the Japanese 90s Challenge in the National B segment of the Career Mode), a Toyota Supra RZ can appear, and it's (always) driven by U(kyo). Katayama

 

So long this thread never posted anything....


....maybe all you need is....

 

My OC drives a R10 TDI, everyone is screwed.

 

In Schwarzwald League, there is an AI driver who goes by the name of 'P. Rosso':


A few things to take from that driver listing:

• 'P. Rosso' is an Italian.
• 'P. Rosso' drives a Scirocco R.
• The Mediterranean wind 'Scirocco' is also known as 'Ghibli' in Libyan Arabic.
• The animation studio named after said wind, Studio Ghibli, released a film in 1992 about an Italian pilot, Porco Rosso.

Yes, we have a possible Ghibli film reference in a Gran Turismo game. Probably one of the least expected things I found while playing through Schwarzwald League a few years ago, but a rather nice and relatively little-known Easter egg nonetheless.
