The Challenge Européen Sega 1993 was an event held in a train, in 1993 as a successor to Sega Euro Challenge 92 and like its predecessor it consisted of a gaming challenge as well as an exhibition of Sega's latest products.

Like in the previous competition, the train toured by the railway stations of 22 of the largest French cities, namely Lille (04/10 and 04/11), Amiens (04/12), Rouen (04/14), Reims (04/17), Strasbourg (04/18), Mulhouse (04/19), Besançon (04/20), Nancy (04/21), Dijon (04/22), Lyon (Lyon-Perrache Railway Station; 04/23 and 04/24), Clermont-Ferrand (04/25), Grenoble (04/26), Marseille (Marseille-Saint-Charles Railway Station; 04/27), Montpellier (04/28), Toulouse (Toulouse-Matabiau Railway Station; 04/29), Bordeaux (Bordeaux-Saint-Jean Railway Station; 05/01), Tours (05/02), Angers (05/03), Nantes (05/04), Rennes (05/05), Le Mans (05/06) and Paris (Montparnasse Railway Station; 05/08 and 05/09) where young visitors from the 22 cities in two groups, "junior" (12 years and under) and "senior" would compete in two Sega video games for a score, against a time limit, this time on Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Mega Drive (Club Sega members had priority over other competitors in queues and the right to a bonus in points). A total of 48 players (24 from each group) would be qualyfied for a grand final held in Paris on June 27, 1993 at the Aquaboulevard, the biggest urban water park in Europe where the winners of each group would be entitled to a place in the Sega European Championships 1993, held in Vienna, Austria to compete for the title of European Champion.

Two of the four carriages of the train were transformed, like in the previous year, into exhibition booths where Sega's latest novelties were exhibited to the French public with each visitor receiving a keyring with a replica of the trophy of the Challenge Européen Sega 1993 as well as an exclusive twenty-page special edition of the French Sega magazine Mega Force, focused entirely on the event, as souvenirs.
