Sega Rally Special Stage (セガラリースペシャルステージ) was a medium scale attraction based on Sega Rally Championship that was located at Shinjuku Joypolis in the late 1990s.
Sega Rally Special Stage plays much like the regular Sega Rally, with one key difference; players rode inside a full-sized Toyota Celica GT-Four acting as a motion simulator, looking out of the windscreen at a giant projected image of the game.
The Celica units moved on 6 fixed axis, and whilst stripped of many other original parts retained their passenger seats, thus making it possible for two people to ride. Non-first person camera options and the ability to drive as either of the two Lancia cars were also removed; likewise, the cabinet set-up suggests no multiplayer options were available.
It is not thought Sega Rally Special Stage ever appeared outside of Shinjuku Joypolis, however the technology used in it would go on to inspire Sega Touring Car Championship Special in 1997, as well as its own successor Initial D Arcade Stage 4 Limited in 2007.
