- The Misano World Circuit is the track, a unique layout that resembles a capital letter T which got in the way of Yuki Takahashi.
- San Marino is the country, a tiny little speck of a nation, the capital of which is San Marino, which I find amusing. It consists of roughly 60 square kilometers, 24 square miles in right-thinking countries, with a population of around 30,000. The entire country could fit inside the University of Michigan football stadium; Rhode Island would beat the tar out of it in a war.
- Rimini is a gorgeous little resort town on the Adriatic coast, the capital city of the province of, you guessed it, Rimini. (Apparently the Italians were starting to running out of names for their places, and had to double up on a few.) The race organizers glued the two towns together in order to give the fans enough room to sit down.
- Cinzano manufactures several varieties of vermouth, which taste like white wine in which someone soaked their gym socks.
- Della Street was Perry Mason’s comely assistant/secretary/troubleshooter. Della is also Italian for “of”. So is “di”.
