Virtua Racing or V.R. for short, is a Formula One racing video game developed by Sega AM2 and released for arcades in 1992. Virtua Racing was initially a proof-of-concept application for exercising a new 3D graphics platform under development, the "Model 1". The results were so encouraging that Virtua Racing was fully developed into a standalone arcade title.

Super Monaco GP is a Formula One racing simulation video game released by Sega, originally as a Sega X Board arcade game in 1989, followed by ports for multiple video game consoles and home computers in the early 1990s. It is the sequel to the 1979 arcade game Monaco GP. The arcade game consists of one race, the Monaco Grand Prix, but later ports added more courses and game modes based on the 1989 Formula One World Championship.

Super Monaco GP's arcade cabinets were designed to look like F1 cars from McLaren and 1988 F1 champion Ayrton Senna. McLaren's sponsor, cigarette brand Marlboro, was parodied as "Marlbobo" in the arcade game's initial release, prompting a lawsuit from the brand's manufacturer, Philip Morris.
