Please don't miss it! Thank you very much.

WARNING:
This video might have "triggered dislikes" due to my play style. I've witnessed some of them (in other Thrill Drive game videos) that mainly more dislikes than likes (e.g. 20 likes, 20+ / 30+ dislikes and so forth) here in YouTube across the Japanese ones.
For your own accord, please like and support if you enjoyed the playthrough. Thank you!

It's been more then 2 decades of this game, so I fully tried myself in. And yeah, it was a pretty fun game as well (not anymore with the "new era Konami" nowadays...). Hopefully if I could encounter that in the arcades in Japan (just one time), then why not? I'll definitely try that game, since MAME has still incomplete (yet proven worse than before on newer revisions) features.

Note:
Simply not bad, but not the best, although this is my real best that I could achieve so far. The game doesn't require you to finish in 1st place, to be entered on the high score section, as long as you are fast enough to get through the GOAL.

Also, the "cannot select country" glitch has finally fixed, going from "Calibration" and "I/O Settings", which makes easy (to re-calibrate the steering wheel only, although it said "STEERING ERROR") now.

This is played in MAME 0.147 (64-bit) for the best, since newer versions caused to instantly crash (due to SHARC-related problems and unstable PC compatibility).

Played as the white Lexus LS400 sedan (early 1990s) + 5-speed & Reverse Manual Transmission.

Enjoy!
