The manga/anime Wangan Midnight is based on the Shuto-Expressways showing the races between Akio Asakura and Tatsuya Shima racing on the Bayshore route.
Games such as Shutokou Battle (Tokyo Xtreme Racer in the US) and Wangan Midnight including the arcade versions are also based on the Shuto-Expressway. The player can battle opponents on the Wangan in the SP battle or point to point races.
Wallace: Did you see the Akuma Zetto at the Wangan last night?
Me: No, what about it?
Wallace: The driver is fast. I bet you can't beat him with your IS350.
Me: Oh yeah? Just watch me and I'll prove that I'm the fastest in the Kanjou line.
Wallace: Your car won't do any good in the Wangan anyways, and yet, his car is lighter than yours.
Me: Aiya...
