Final Lap R

Final Lap R (ファイナルラップR, Fainaru Rappu Āru) is a racing arcade game which was released by Namco in 1993; it was one of the only games to run on the company's System FL hardware, and is the fourth game in their Final Lap series. It was also licensed by FOCA to Fuji Television (as shown on its title screen), and much like its predecessors, allows up to eight players to play simultaneously when four two-player cabinets are linked together (but Player 4 and 8's car is now affiliated with Benetton replacing Tyrrell from the previous game) - and it also features four new tracks set in Germany, Hungary, Belgium and Brazil. The colour of the CPU-controlled cars has also been changed from green to blue;[1] however, there are also black ones (which fill in for missing players at the starting line, but both types shall still cause either the player or CPU car to go spinning off the track if they are rammed, and cost the player time for the case of the former).
