Fingerprint: Motor racing playfield with symmetric orange racing-car motif in center, black-and-white chequered flag pattern below car, sweeping blue and orange habitrail ramps looping from bottom corners, score panel with four red roller windows at top, dark chrome wire-form ramp tangle

Distinctive

The most memorable element is the symmetrical orange racing-car motif in the centre of the playfield, with a black-and-white chequered flag pattern directly below it and a single red ball sitting in the lower lane. Four red roller score windows numbered 1 to 4 run across the very top of the frame. A pair of large sweeping blue and orange habitrail ramps loop symmetrically from the bottom corners up around the sides of the cream central lane. The upper-right quadrant is dominated by a dark tangle of chrome wire-form ramp and ball guides, while the upper-left has a black upright panel with tall white ornamental lettering.

Full description

Photograph of a complete electro-mechanical pinball playfield seen from above, filling most of the frame, with a narrow score panel strip across the very top and the dark cabinet apron and coin door visible at the bottom. The playfield is a dense, brightly coloured cartoon racing motif: broad cream and white lanes run up the centre, flanked by sweeping royal-blue and orange-red ramps and habitrails that loop from the lower left up to the upper right and back again. Down the middle sits an orange car-shaped lower playfield with a black-and-white chequered flag motif near its base and a small red ball resting in a lane. Metal ball guides, chrome posts, rubber-ringed bumpers, slingshots, drop-target banks and a wire-form ramp are visible in the upper half. Upper-left of the playfield is an upright black rectangular panel carrying large white decorative lettering above a red-and-orange arrow graphic. Upper-right is a dark, spidery cluster of wire ramp and guide rails. Bottom-right bears large white block lettering with a heavy black outline and red drop shadow on an orange field, only partly legible. The score strip at the top shows four red roller windows each over a white numeral 1, 2, 3 and 4. Dominant colours are royal blue, orange-red, cream white and black. Condition: the playfield is dimly lit, the glass shows heavy dark reflections and a bright rectangular glare across the top, and the edges are cropped by the cabinet rails.
