TRIVIA Suzuka 8 Hours was released in May 1992.
Suzuka 8 Hours is one of the world's major endurance motorcycle championship. The event is eight hours long and is held every year in Suzuka (Japan), on a 5.8 km (3.6 mi) circuit owned by Honda.
Because of the length of such race, several pilots ride the same bike and the winning team must complete the largest amount of laps. Suzuka 8 Hours was first inaugurated in 1978 and joined the world championship series in 1980.
The in-game event doesn't last 8 hours, but only up to 6 minutes. The race length can be adjusted between 3 and 6 laps in the service mode.
The motorcycle is wrongly referred to as 'car' in test mode.
The game features dynamic day-to-night time cycle during later laps.
The game has no scoring system; instead it has a top time table (per full race).
Even when you complete the full race, you'll get a game over, which is unreasonable in this case.
This is the first video game officially sponsored by the Coca-Cola Company. Note: Coca-Cola was invented in May 1886 by a pharmacist, Dr. John S. Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. A bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name 'Coca-Cola' to Dr. Pemberton. Robinson suggested this name because both the words Coca and Cola named 2 of the ingredients. Also the 2 'C's' would look good in advertising. The name 'Coca-Cola' first became a registered trademark in 1893.
TIPS AND TRICKS
Suzuka 8 Hours doesn't have a start button, so you need to put your hands on handles directly after you insert a coin.
