Following its release to disc in 1995, the episode order was changed to bring the four 'Griffin' episodes (formerly numbered 1, 3, 5 and 7) to the beginning of the series.
Takeo Kumagami runs through the hotel guest lists; listed are Rosemeyer (German), Gilles Villeneuve (Canada), Bill Vukozick (USA), Pedro Rodríguez (Mexico), Jim Clark (Ingland), Jochen Rindo (Australia). J.L. Schlesser, Richard Won, R Atwood, B Wallek
Barring Richard Won, all of those are racing drivers, some are spelt incorrectly; they are Bernd Rosemeyer, Bill Vukovich, Jochen Rindt (an Austrian), Jean-Louis Schlesser, Richard Attwood and Bob Wollek (the only driver listed who have never competed in Formula One or a pre-war era Grand Prix).
The first page are those who died racing and the next page are those who was still alive at the time of release with Schlesser and Wollek remaining active in their careers through 2000 (the setting of this episode).
Set during the last hours of December 31, 1999 through to January 1, 2000.
