Last Lap (Alternate Version)

The Last Lap (Alternate Version) is a solid-state electronic auto-racing pinball machine from Playmatic of Barcelona, Spain. It is one of two known variants of Last Lap: this version has two flippers and two pop bumpers, and a solid pink lower-playfield background, with the four backglass score displays framed in solid red. A second, differently-documented version exists (Playmatic's 1978 'Last Lap'), and it's unclear which version came first, or whether both backglass color schemes were used on this alternate version.

Gameplay-wise, Last Lap features two flippers, two pop bumpers, a slingshot, a 10-bank drop target (reset by two coils on a single continuous bar so all ten targets reset simultaneously), a spinning target, a horseshoe lane, and a kick-out hole. Together these create a dynamic, four-player racing-themed experience.

No specific information is available on the designer behind this version, and its exact production year is unknown. As one of the lesser-documented Playmatic variants, Last Lap (Alternate Version) offers an interesting glimpse into how manufacturers sometimes produced multiple backglass or playfield variations of the same title.
