Sega Touring Car Championship (セガツーリングカーチャンピオンシップ) is a Sega Model 2C CRX arcade racing game developed by Sega AM5 in 1996. It is similar to Sega Rally Championship in design, but uses touring cars instead of rally cars. Unlike Sega Rally Championship, Sega Touring Car Championship has never seen a sequel, and it considered a far less successful game for a variety of reasons, most notably the steep difficulty curve and often awkward car handing.

Gameplay

Sega Touring Car Championship offers three "rounds" (plus a qualifying lap), in which the player competes against seven other cars for first place.

Cars

Sega Touring Car Championship features, by default, four touring cars, three used in the 1995 Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft and a Toyota from the Japanese Grand Touring Championship (now Super GT). Template:Levels

Sequels and Re-releases

Home ports to the Sega Saturn and Windows PC were handled by AM Annex, and were released in 1997 and 1998 respectively. These versions include cars from the 1996 International Touring Car Championship plus more interestingly, the Toyota Celica CT-Four and Lancia Delta HF Integrale from Sega Rally. There are also hidden courses in this version, and contains features such as split-screen multiplayer.

The Saturn version has what is known as "Global Net Events", which are triggered at various times of the year depending on the system's clock. Setting it to the 25th of December 1997 will trigger "winter holiday" mode, 13th of Februrary will trigger "hit and run mode" (in which you need to hit cones), and 1st of April will trigger "April Foul" mode, in which you drive in the opposite direction and have to avoid oncoming cars.
