Gran Trak 10 is a single-player racing arcade game released by Atari in 1974. In the game, the player races against the clock with the intent of accumulating as many points as possible.
Primitive diode-based ROM was used to store the sprites for the car, score and game timer, and the race track. The game's controls — steering wheel, four-position gear shifter, and accelerator and brake foot pedals — were firsts for arcade video games.
