**As the event gives only 17 engines, must be obtained through other means.
===v4.0===
* The minimum tune required to complete the event is [3505 5050]. This requires + , 46 , 48 and 32 .
** The event gives up to only 18 , which requires to be acquired through other means.
** As the are only available in the so far, it is recommended to buy the in order to get the necessary engines. This requires at least .
** For the players who don't want to spend Tokens on obtaining , another option is to play as much of the event as possible and wait for the event's relaunch.
* Furthermore, the grants around 1 per box (sometimes 2, sometimes none, undocumented).
* Because this R&D is based on the ones for the Arash AF10 (see here), Pagani Huayra BC (see here), and Apollo Intensa Emozione (see here), many of the same general tips and warnings for these events also apply here.
* As there are , the Extra Horses, Glimpse into the Future, New Wave, Retro and Off the Charts collections should be completed to upgrade the Centenario. A total of 22 Class S free upgrades can be obtained from the 5 collections for the Centenario's 4 (8 in the original run) TOUs.
** Glimpse into the Future is the cheapest to complete (even with the McLaren P1™'s increased price) and gives 4 upgrades to cover the Centenario's Level 4 and Level 5 upgrades for top speed and nitro.
*** Buying the P1™ costs but completing the collection saves .
**** As of the Fast Lane Update, the Ferrari LaFerrari is now priced at , reducing savings down to only .
*** The other collections require either tokens, , or significantly higher upgrade costs.
** Car Mastery also has 9 Class S free upgrades. See this page for the full list.
*** The Fast Lane Update removed these free upgrades, however.
* With the event's significantly harder sub-goals, caution is advised when attempting a test.

== Trivia ==
* This is one of three R&D events released in 2018 to have 60 Tests and 4 Labs, with the other two being the ones for the Apollo IE and Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR (see here).
* Unlike other R&Ds, the Centenario's R&D event gives out an R&D Professional Kit Box at the beginning of the R&D instead of towards the end. This is similar to pre-Halloween Update Championship events giving out a Championship Professional Box after obtaining the first two Trophies.
* The Centenario's R&D event is notable for the following firsts:
** The first where no Free Upgrades are awarded. This would eventually be continued with the 's event.
** The first to feature the R&D Mini Box (purchasable for ), which is similar to the Championship Mini Box used in the 2018 McLaren X2's Championship event. This would also be continued with the BMW i8 Coupe's event.
** The first to feature a Flawless race in the first Lab.
** The first with no Pro Boxes as rewards in the final Lab.
* Despite having a Winter theme, the Centenario's R&D promo ad is not shown with the Winter theme.
** This could hint that this car's R&D was originally planned to have the generic R&D theme. 
** While the relaunched event had the Winter theme removed, the boxes retained the Winter design.
* The Centenario's R&D has the most Flawless races (16) for an R&D event.
* With at least needed by the player beforehand (to get the remaining needed and assuming the player has used up all their free upgrades, as well as to refill proto keys with an increased cost of , keep Quality Checks, and auto-pass tests to keep up), this R&D event can be considered the most expensive and event in the entire game.
