The player drives Formula One cars of the 1987 season and may choose between [[Williams FW11|Williams-Honda]], [[Lotus 99T|Lotus-Honda]], [[McLaren MP4/3|McLaren-Porsche]], or [[March 871|March-Cosworth]]. 1987 was the first year a Formula One grand prix was held on the [[Suzuka Circuit]], the main track in the game. The track layout is reproduced accurately, going so far as to include sponsor [[billboard (advertising)|billboard]]s, but the length is greatly shortened, and it takes less than forty seconds to complete one lap in the game.

The Famicom version is mostly unrelated to the original arcade game, including more tracks and somewhat simpler game play. The Famicom version features both a single-player and two-player split screen mode. The game uses an upgrade system, rather than different cars. The game will slowly increase the computer controlled car's difficulty, requiring the player to continuously upgrade the car in order to keep up. The upgrades consist of engine upgrades, brake upgrades, tire upgrades, and extra boost. The game was released in Japan on August 12, 1988.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.giantbomb.com/final-lap/3030-37092/releases/|title=Final Lap International Releases|website=Giant Bomb|language=en|access-date=2020-04-12}}</ref>
