Final Lap 3 (ファイナルラップ3, Fainaru Rappu Tsurī), as the name suggests, is the third title in the

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

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.

In the single-player mode, the player's score is again based on how far his car travels until the timer runs out or he completes four laps of the chosen circuit, and hitting another car or a billboard will again not cause a player car to explode, like it did in the two Pole Position games, but it can still send it (or the other car) spinning off the track, costing valuable time; in the multiplayer mode, up to eight players can again race simultaneously, which shall again allow for better lap times, as the plain green CPU-controlled cars (which have again also been redesigned) will appear less frequently.

titles.
