Here’s some additional information:

Final Lap is a racing game released by Namco Limited (current Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc.) in 1987. 1987 marked the dawn of the F1 boom in Japan. Set against the backdrop of that era, this title portrays the raw power of racing machines and the stoic world of professional competition. Experience nail-biting, high-speed battles set on the legendary circuit as it was back then. Push yourself to the absolute limit where every tenth of a second counts – and give it everything you’ve got!
