Final Lap is a series of four arcade games that were released by Namco between 1987 and 1993. They all run on the company's System 2 hardware and allow up to eight players to race simultaneously when four two-player cabinets are linked together. Four Trax and Suzuka 8 Hours also have similar gameplay to this series, but feature quad bikes and motorcycles instead of racing cars.


 * Final Lap: The original game was released by Namco in 1987 and licensed to Atari Games for US manufacture and distribution. Players must take control of the Williams, McLaren, March and Lotus cars as they compete in a Formula One race on the Suzuka Circuit.


 * Final Lap 2: The second title in the series was released directly by Namco in 1990 and featured four different tracks to choose from instead of just one - set in Japan, Italy, Monaco and the United States. The players' cars were also redesigned.


 * Final Lap 3: The third title in the series was released by Namco in 1992 - and like its predecessor, it featured four different tracks to choose from. However, these ones were set in England, France, San Marino and Spain. The players' cars were also redesigned for a second time.


 * Final Lap R: The fourth and final title in the series was released by Namco in 1993 and licensed by FOCA to Fuji Television. Once again, it featured four different tracks to choose from - set in Germany, Hungary, Belgium and Brazil. The players' cars were also redesigned for a third time, and the colour of the CPU-controlled cars was changed from green to blue.
