'''''Scud Race Plus''''' is an update to ''[[Scud Race]]'' and was released for [[Sega Model 3]] arcade hardware in 1997. It is a bizarre and somewhat rare update to the game, being released exclusively in Japan. Despite this, it is possible to change the region of ''Scud Race Plus'', and if switched to US it will create '''''Sega Super GT Plus'''''. ''Scud Race Plus'' is very much the same game as ''Scud Race'', but features the option to race on each track in reverse by holding {{start}} on the track select screen. You can also initiate time attack mode by holding {{start}} on the transmission select screen.

''Scud Race Plus'' also adds one new track, "Super Beginner" - an oval track in which the players race across the floor of a house. Part of this track houses twelve bowling pins which can be knocked down for extra time, as well as the occasional visit by a cat chasing a mouse. Unlike the other four tracks, Super Beginner does not have the player compete against other Supercars (though there is one oppoent Porsche 911), but instead buses, tanks and rocket cars.

The opponents seen on the Super Beginner track are fully playable, again being accessed by holding {{start}} while making a selection on the car select screen. The Porsche 911 will change into a bus filled with [[Sega AM2]] developers - a larger and heavier vehicle with the ability to knock others off course (the downside being low acceleration and a low top speed). The Ferrari F40 will change into a tank driven by (presumably) another AM2 developer, in which pressing {{start}} will make it fire. The tank comes paired with an extra points counter which is increased when opponent vehicles are hit.
