Soundtrack
The soundtrack for the game was composed by famed video game musician Neil D. Voss, whose previous work on the Nintendo 64 video game Tetrisphere nabbed him the best soundtrack award from Nintendo Power for that particular game's year of release. Racing Gears Advance's soundtrack won the "best use of sound" for the GBA by IGN in 2005.
Sequel
After the success of Racing Gears Advance, Orbital Media announced a sequel for the Nintendo DS, though at the time being no information is known on the game. It is presumed by many that the game has been canned, as no information on this title or any other title by the developer has been seen in well over three years.
