Scud Race (stylized as SCUD Race, "Sport Car Ultimate Drive"), known as SEGA Super GT in North America, is a 1996 arcade racing game, developed by Sega AM2 for the Model 3 arcade board. The game was first released to Japanese arcades in December 1996 and is the spiritual sequel to the critically-acclaimed Daytona USA, featuring a similar control scheme, HUD and visual styles, but exchanges NASCAR-style stock cars for GT supercars, based on a real life racing event - the BPR Global GT Series, which was sponsored by the BPR Organization.

Trivia[]
- The Dreamcast port was announced for the system's 1998 launch lineup and was shown as a tech-demo to woo developers, though a full conversion was ruled out very early on, as Sega wanted to avoid a reputation of only offering arcade ports to Dreamcast customers. Some of the console's development kits have sections of Scud Race built in for example purposes.
- Despite seeing no console release of its own, the four tracks in this game appeared in the Xbox port of OutRun 2, complete with original music and rearranged as a whole OutRun route instead of separate tracks with a number of laps each to race.
