EVR Race was Nintendo's first video game. That is, it's the first game they made to use video. Nintendo doesn't even have a copy anymore.

I searched for it on a whim at Yahoo Auctions, and I actually found one:
page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/x465226628

It's being sold as junk. Apparently, the screen doesn't work, the table part isn't included, and the innards look pretty rusted out. However, it looks like the tapes are included, meaning at least the game's video footage could be salvaged.

Can't find footage on youtube at all. And all images just appear to be a single image from a magazine.

I'd suggest contacting the National Video Game Museum: www.vghmuseum.org/ and suggesting they buy and restore it. I haven't successfully gotten any communications back, but you may have more luck with this.
