Two new versions of a racing game similar to Sigma Derby made their debut at the G2E Conference in Las Vegas, NV in 2015. One was a prototype game called "Classic Derby," made by manufacturing company VSR Industries. Another was a game called Royal Derby, made by Slovenian gaming company Alfastreet.
