Name: ニュービッグレース (New Big Race)

New Big Race appears in the 1973 game directory, which was printed in late 1972.

| ニュービッグレース (New Big Race) in the machine directory |
A photograph below shows a copy of the game with a Type Approval Number of 91-4910.
TAN 91-4910 was registered by Sankyo in 1970. These numbers can potentially be re-used for similar machines for a 5 year period, but it does mean this machine is from no earlier than 1970. The 1972 print date of the machine directory is the only date we have, and the one we will use for the time being.
The following photos are provided by montagiyou. Thank you.
The following are photographs from the IPDB entry, and all by Jay Stafford. I believe this is the exact same machine as above.

| dramatically less circuity than we are familiar with in pinball machines |
The artwork bears a striking resemblance to Speed Racer Go Go...
