In Japan, Game Machine listed Final Lap R in its March 15, 1993 issue as being the country's third most popular upright arcade game at the time. It went on to be the eighth highest-grossing dedicated arcade game of 1993 in Japan.
A reviewer for the French publication Consoles Plus described it as "the swan song of 2D F1 simulation games", and admired its graphics and fast-paced gameplay.
