Trivia

 * The arrow signs in city courses are usually colored to match the flag of the nation the city is from (i.e. London Loop (United Kingdom) has red, white and blue arrow signs while Berlin Byways (Germany) has gold, red and black signs), however Amsterdam Drift's are yellow and gold, which do not align the nation's flag color scheme of red, white and blue. Yellow and gold resemble the colors of the, the capital of South Holland.
