Stern Pinball, Inc. presents its latest pinball machine, GRAND PRIX

June 28, 2003 - Merging the speed of the raceway with the speed of the silver ball, Stern Pinball, Inc. presents its latest pinball machine, GRAND PRIX. Designed by Pat Lawlor and his team at Pat Lawlor Design, GRAND PRIX is a new kind of game for racing and pinball fans.

GRAND PRIX racing is an immensely popular sport in Europe and around the world today, and Stern's GRAND PRIX pinball lives up to all the high-energy expectations of its fans. GRAND PRIX is a perfect piece for operators and homeowners who like real excitement in their pinball.

The main feature of GRAND PRIX is a loop that runs around the entire playfield. Energized by magnets, the loop sends pinballs racing around it like cars racing around a track. GRAND PRIX also features a semi-truck hauler that the player can launch a ball through, and a test car toy that the player can bang with the pinball.

GRAND PRIX is available with English, Spanish, German, French, or Italian speech, dot matrix, instruction cards, and manuals. All languages are available for download through the Stern Pinball website, http://www.sternpinball.com/techsupport.shtml.

The GRAND PRIX pinball was brought to life by Pat Lawlor Design industry veterans Louis Koziarz creating the software and mechanical wiz John Krutsch. Renowned pinball artist Kevin O'Connor created the art package for GRAND PRIX, while expert sound engineer Chris Granner did the sound work.

Pat Lawlor says, "GRAND PRIX is the kind of game and license dream combination that comes around maybe once in a decade. I can't imagine a street location that won't benefit from the high visibility of this product. We have built an exciting game for casual players and a challenging game for location wizards. The GRAND PRIX pinball is fast, addictive, and sure to complement any locations earnings."

GRAND PRIX racing is without a doubt the fastest, most furious and downright glamorous sporting contest found in the world today. Attracting television audiences in every country in the world, and it now ranks third behind only the Summer Olympics and football's World Cup in global appeal. Every year racers and their high-tech teams reel around the world leaving a trail of high-octane fuel and spilt champagne. Drivers risk life and limb in their pursuit of the ultimate racing accolade - to be acknowledged as World Champion.

Inside the United States and Canada, Stern will offer NASCAR, a pinball machine with its own original art package. The game will offer the same great gameplay and attractions for NASCAR racing fans.
