It would have to be Sega Racing i would think.

I just had a little check on the PlayStation Store and you can still buy Daytona USA for PS3, so as far as Sega'a concerned I don't think licensing would be an issue. How that would work with a third party making the hardware I've no idea (obviously hasn't been an issue for stuff like Marvel Super Heroes and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles though). If they added in Daytona USA 2 and some of their other racers, that wouldn't present licensing issues, I'd be sold. Virtua Racing should be fine I'd have thought (unless the recent Sega AGES Switch game ties it up). They could add the version of Outrun that's had the Ferrari changed and Outrunners, although TBH, I'd almost rather see those in a dedicated Outrun cabinet. Indy 500 should be fair game (I think). They could even add in stuff like Super Hang-On or more obscure stuff like AB Cop. I would be happy paying big bucks for one of those.

Those are all excellent points.

However, I do think making hardware falls under a completely different license though.
Also Daytona is available on the XBOX network also.

But those were HD Remakes, and done awhile ago, and Sega Racing is more current for Hardware,
which is why I think they would still have to go down that route.
Yes, there would have to be changes for most of the racing games from Sega, but hopefully, they can
figure something out.

Sorry -1 you are dead wrong.  I assure you getting the license for the Daytona speedway is far cheaper than getting the license for tmnt or marvel.  I mean it's so cheap that sega recently renewed it to release the Daytona remake in arcades and sega's so poor they are barely in the industry at this point.

I do remember the whole Daytona 3/Daytona Championship USA arcade release, so yes, things did change.

wezfunlab:
thanks for sharing my Daytona build. Happy to answer any questions about it

After this build I've been working on a racing mod kit. This means that I can provide people who want to build their own custom racing mod the Dash mold (the part that sits over the steering wheel, and the gear stick enclosure and inner parts. The seat parts I have been looking into also but that comes second.

I have however ran into some stumbling blocks getting my original parts replicated, let alone getting the custom seat part replicated. The costs are huge! I got several quotes from part manufacturers in China and just the dash alone is $130 to replicate. I however since been able to figure out a home replication system, but it's not mass scale. I can just replicate with a mold and do one at a time which is a lot cheaper believe it or not.
 This is why you will see with the Arcade 1up star wars machine that it is mostly wooden parts without much injection molding or vacuum forming plastic parts. Also the seat in the starwars 1up is a simple cushion pad, for good reason, this keeps the cost down by a massive amount. The steering wheel of the star wars cab also has no force feedback, imo this is essential for Daytona. The Logitech steering wheel that I use is a huge cost, pedals, wheel and stick you are looking at $300 on ebay, brand new over $400...

I see a lot of people wanting a racing cabinet by Arcade1Up, it's possible but I do wonder about the quality and detail they will be able to put into it. A force feedback steering wheel, pedals, gear stick, the licensing of the games, link up support for multiple systems, is there a seat? .... the cost would have to be in the 700 to 800 hundred range.. and this is too much.  To me this is the real challenge for tastemakers, how to do it for cheap.

Mike A:
You can buy a basic seat from a place like summit racing for like 50 bucks. You can probably find them cheaper if you really look.
