Final Lap[a] is a 1987 racing simulation video game developed and published by Namco.
This was, at the time, considered a revolutionary feature, and was implemented by linking together up to four two-player sitdown-style arcade cabinets.
The player drives Formula One cars of the 1987 season and may choose between Williams-Honda, Lotus-Honda, McLaren-Porsche, or March-Cosworth.
1987 was the first year a Formula One grand prix was held on the Suzuka Circuit, the main track in the game.
The track layout is reproduced accurately, going so far as to include sponsor billboards, but the length is greatly shortened, and it takes less than forty seconds to complete one lap in the game.
