Daytona USA is an arcade racing game developed by Sega AM2 and released in 1993. Players control a stock car called the Hornet across one of three selectable tracks, choosing between automatic or manual transmission before each race. The core objectives are straightforward: overtake rival cars and reach the finish line before the countdown timer expires. As one of the defining arcade racers of its era, the game blends accessible controls with enough mechanical depth — particularly through the transmission choice — to reward more practiced drivers. Its cabinet hardware delivered smooth, high-speed visuals that set a benchmark for the genre in the early 1990s. Daytona USA remains a landmark title in Sega AM2's catalog and in arcade racing history more broadly.
