Trivia[]
- The song playing in the official trailer is Synrise (Soulwax Remix) by Goose. The song also plays on Soulwax FM.
- The song playing in the Stunt Race Creator trailer is Flutes by Hot Chip. The song also plays on Radio Mirror Park.
- The name of the update is a spoonerism. Switching around the C in cunning and St in stunt makes the phrase "Stunning Cunts", which could be another testament to Rockstar's humor. This also applies to the Cunning Stunt Academy.
- In the artwork, the man on the left bears a striking resemblance to the late NASCAR driver, Dale Earnhardt.
