Basically a precursor to OutRun 2 in its blistering speed, spectacular stages/graphics, depth of handling intricacies, and expectation of mastery from the player. I'm sure there are further subtleties but to me they are both perfect arcade racers.
I actually found a cabinet in the wild, Events Cinema Liverpool for anyone in Sydney.
I played through each race once just for a muck around and again on beginner just to see if I had improved at all.
On surface it controls like Daytona USA with auto and manual modes, with the latter having 4 gear stick shift.
What surprised me was the nuanced drift necessary for taking corners and maintaining speed, tricky to manuever but very satisfying to pull off.
Also graphically I think it holds up, I love the Sonic/Saturn iconography on the first stage.
It is AM2 at its 90’s peak, not surprising we haven’t seen a port given the licenses for a since dissolved racing series.

This released in 1996???? AM2 was a fucking POWERHOUSE oh my god. Absolutely genius team.
I'll definitely try this again when emulation is properly configurable
