Road Race
About This Machine
Road Race, manufactured by Maquinas Recreativas Sociedad Anonima (Maresa) of Madrid, Spain, is an electro-mechanical pinball machine and a copy of Gottlieb's 1969 'Road Race', meaning it was likely produced around or after that year rather than earlier. Its exact production year is not confirmed.
The gameplay on Road Race features two flippers, three pop bumpers, two slingshots, and a rotating arrow bumper, mirroring the layout of the Gottlieb original it was based on. The wedge head design is typical of Maresa's electro-mechanical machines from this period. The auto racing theme would have appealed to players of the late 1960s and 1970s.
Beyond its technical specifications and its status as a copy of Gottlieb's design, little additional information is available about Road Race. Its scarcity outside of Spain has made it an intriguing, if lightly documented, title for collectors interested in European clones of American pinball classics.
