Trivia

Cars

The Honda RA300 and the Cooper T81B do not appear due to licensing reasons. (They were both replaced with fictional manufactures.) There exist third party patches on the Internet to fix these problems.

Courses

In Grand Prix Legends, the French Grand Prix is raced at Rouen-Les-Essarts. In real life however, the 1967 French Grand Prix was held at the Le Mans Bugatti Circuit. The missing track can be downloaded on the web.

Extras

Includes a 100+ page strategy guide by Steve Smith, former contributing editor of Car and Driver Magazine.

Jackie Stewart

Jackie Stewart was to appear in this game, but was not included due to licensing reasons. It has been rumored that Stewart has commented on the game as being more difficult to drive a vehicle in Grand Prix Legends, than the actual 1967 Formula 1 cars. As of 2009, footage of Stewart commenting on a mod of the game exists on the internet.
