Fast Track

Fast Track is a solid-state electronic pinball machine from Mr. Game of Bologna, Italy, which operated from 1988 to 1990. The game is notable as the original version of Mr. Game's 1989 title 'Motor Show,' released in a standard cabinet; reportedly, when new ownership took over Mr. Game -- with the new owner also running an actual motor show -- the game was renamed to reflect that connection. The exact production quantity is unknown, and its artwork was created by Tony Ramunni.

As a Racing-themed game for up to four players, Fast Track fits into the wave of Italian-made solid-state pinball machines from the late 1980s, built on the Mr. Game 1B11188/0 MPU board. Specific gameplay mechanics beyond its racing theme are not well documented.

Fast Track's real interest for collectors lies in its place at the root of the Mr. Game lineage -- the same design later reissued and renamed as 'Motor Show' -- making it a notable example of a machine's identity shifting alongside a change in company ownership.
