When a trademark filing for Sega Racing Classic popped up over the summer, fans enticed by Sega’s long history of arcade racers started speculating about what kind of game it could be. Then as images of the cabinet surfaced a few weeks ago, it seemed clear that the game had some ties to the classic Daytona USA series, but whether it was a new entry or some kind of modernized throwback had yet to be determined.
Upon hearing a report that Sega was location testing the game at GameWorks outside Chicago, I set off for the burbs to capture some footage and sort all of the above out.
