would be interesting to check if it's a sprite or a tilemap

if it's a sprite we know Kaneko sometimes put extra sprite roms on certain revisions, that patch over the mask roms.

it's possible this is missing one of those, or using the wrong ones (I haven't checked) because people assumed they were the same.

or it could be they just forgot this scene when updating something.

It seems to be an emulation issue.
I've done a lot of testing with this game and I've found out there's a wide variety of different ending sequence bugs, and they depend on the final circuit played + the chosen car. The bugs are not a random thing. I even tested the game in mame 0.123 and the ending bugs pertinent to a car + a circuit are the same as in mame 0.202, so it seems there's no regression. This error has always been there.
Some combinations of car + circuit do not show any error.

Stage 1, Jaguar B-Type (no glitches)


Stage 2, Ferrari 250 GTO


Stage 3, Ferrari 250 GTO


Stage 3, Bugatti Type 59


Stage 4, Ferrari 250 GTO


Stage 5, Ferrari 250 GTO


Stage 6, Ferrari 250 GTO (no glitches)


Stage 7, Ferrari 250 GTO


Stage 8, Ferrari 250 GTO (no glitches)


Stage 8, Porsche 550A (this is the reported glitch of this ticket)

I've uploaded some savestates for 8 game endings (mame 0.202)
The file is gtmr2 (endings).zip
Previous uploaded file, gtmr2.zip could be deleted.

this one is certainly odd.

I thought maybe it was to do with the extra-non mask roms being loaded incorrectly (as in some other Kaneko games they load over part of the mask roms) but that isn't the case here.

it literally just has the wrong tile values in RAM, like it doesn't properly copy the entire tilemap it needs and leaves things left from previous stages etc. which makes it look very much like a bug in the game. I wonder if it can be triggered on the original hardware, just none of the videos found cause it.
