Sprint 2 evolved from Gran Trak 10 and Gran Trak 20, but included a microprocessor (the 6502), a first for racing games. This allowed Sprint 2 to include two computer-controlled cars, better graphics, and more tracks. Unlike Gran Trak, this machine did not have brake pedals, but the players could still make their cars "fishtail" by turning their steering wheels abruptly.
Sprint 2 was the first in a long series of games, some of which bore its name into the 1980s.
The current world record holder for Sprint 2 is Alan Radue with a score of 524 points. The record was set on September 24, 2011 at the Tranquility Base Arcade and verified by Twin Galaxies International on September 29, 2011.
