The Seychelles islands was visible throughout the entire events with three large banners including a Seychelles "Carnaval International de Victoria" promotional banner adorning the track. The Racing team had drivers with F1, F2, GP2, WTCC, and Nissan 2000, and Indy Lights experience had their kart "www.seychelles.com" printed on the side pods and the "Carnival International de Victoria" 2012 sticker on the rear.
