Virtua Racing (also known as V.R.) is a racing game developed by Sega AM2 in 1992. It was the first game released for the Sega Model 1 arcade platform, and also the first in the "Virtua" series (it was later followed by Virtua Fighter and Virtua Cop. Initially created as proof of concept program for the system, Virtua Racing was given the all-clear to become a fully fledged arcade title and became one of the first 3D racing games to appear in arcades.
Due to its Arcade success, Virtua Racing was ported to home consoles in the following years. The Sega Mega Drive port released in 1994 is notable for being one of the only Mega Drive games to use polygons (though not as many as the Arcade original). The Sega 32X, released a few months later as Virtua Racing Deluxe includes two extra tracks and due to the increased power of the 32X, has a greater resemblence to the Arcade release. A Sega Saturn release by Time Warner Interactive (intially known as Virtua Racing Saturn) appeared in 1995, sporting ten extra courses, four new cars and a grand prix mode. More recently, the game has been remade as part of the Sega Ages 2500 series on the PlayStation 2, which includes an extra three new courses and four new cars.
