Final Lap 3
Final Lap 3 is the next sequel of the Final Lap racing game series. It is similar to the previous game, once again offering four tracks, though they're all new: the Silverstone Circuit, the Paul Ricard Circuit, the Barcelona-Catelunya Circuit, and the Enzo Ferrari Circuit. Like the previous game, it was an arcade exclusive and runs on Namco System 2 hardware. Up to eight players can play simultaneously when four two-player cabinets are linked together.

About
Final Lap 3 (ファイナルラップ3, Fainaru Rappu Tsurī) is the third title in the Final Lap series, released worldwide by Namco in 1992. Like its precursors (as well as Four Trax, and Suzuka 8 Hours), it runs on Namco System 2 hardware, and allows up to eight players to play simultaneously when four two-player cabinets are linked together.
It features four new tracks set in England, France, San Marino, and Spain - and for the third time, the players must take control of either the Williams, McLaren, Ferrari or Tyrrell cars (which have again been redesigned; Ferrari and Tyrrell replaces March and Lotus from the previous games), in a Formula One race on one of the four tracks.
