Sega World Drivers Championship (SWDC) is an arcade racing game released by Sega. Developed in co-operation with Bitster, the game is based on the Super GT license, and is the first to release in the genre with nationwide online play of up to 10 players. It is also notably the first of Sega's earliest two releases built with Unreal Engine 4, followed by House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn.[3]

SWDC ended online service on April 30, 2021,[4] following the introduction of an optional offline mode patch for arcades to continue operating cabinets on February 25.[5] Since both use the same base cabinet design, many were instead converted to run Initial D The Arcade, which began operations on the same day.[6] The game has officially remained exclusive to arcades in Japan.
