Sega Touring Car Championship Special (セガツーリングカーチャンピオンシップスペシャル) was a medium-scale attraction version of the Sega Model 2 arcade game Sega Touring Car Championship. A small version of the attraction first appeared at Kyoto Joypolis on opening day[1], before also going on to appear at a number of other Joypolis venues in a larger capacity.
Sega Touring Car Championship Special was largely similar to Sega Rally Special Stage, being a specialised version of the Touring Car arcade game with players riding inside motion-enabled full-sized vehicles. Unlike its predecessor, however, it was built with a choice of multiple cars - the original version sited at Kyoto Joypolis featured the AMG-Mercedes C-Class and Alfa Romeo 155, while later installations added the Toyota Supra.
Like the vast majority of Sega's medium and large-scale attractions from the 90s, no installations are currently known to exist - Okayama Joypolis' units were removed within a year of the site opening, the original version went with Kyoto Joypolis upon its 2002 closure, and it was succeeded at Tokyo Joypolis by Initial D Arcade Stage 4 Limited in 2007, fulfilling much the the same purpose but with a newer game.
