Logo-pdf.svg 1996-08-09 Sega Saturn Magazine (JP), "1996-14 (1996-08-23)" Gives 3 general highlights about the game, being the inclusion of 4 real-life car models, the cabinet design and the game design concept. Includes a brief interview with producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi which discusses the game's origin and differences from Sega Rally Championship. He also confirms the game is 60% complete, which is further mentioned in the accompanying column written by 政綱 大介, who describes his experience testing this 60% build.
Logo-pdf.svg 1996-08-23 Saturn Fan (JP), "1996 No. 18" "ARCADE Hits Now"
A preview with impressions from the game's appearance at a July 26 exhibition. It focuses on the 4 available car models (which includes a screenshot of the Car Select screen), but also mentions 3 courses, 8-player online battles, the functions of the cabinet and 3 in-game viewpoints. The game is teased to appears at Amusement Machine Show 1996. Includes an interview with unnamed Sega development staff which covers the game's design and development and confirms it to be 80% complete (as of August). A highlight of the game is its use of background music licensed from Avex Trax.
Logo-pdf.svg 1996-10-11 Sega Magazine (JP), "1996-01 (1996-11)" A 2-page preview introducing the game as a new work from the Sega Rally Championship development team. Touring car championships are referenced in comparison to F1 so as to excite Sega fans, as are original circuits, the club background music including songs from Avex Trax, and sound effects coming from both the game and cabinet. The deluxe cabinet type is shown. A piece is devoted to 8-player battles.

On the second page, individual focus is given to the 4 car models, Opel Calibra V6, Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI, Toyota Supra GT and AMG Mercedes C-Class, alongside a basic overview of gameplay progression.

Logo-pdf.svg 1996-10-15 Gamest (JP), "1996-11-15" Written by ずるずる, it's a 4-page preview of gameplay covering 3 courses. On the final page are instructions on participating in a giveaway for a Mercedes-Benz telecard produced by Mercedes (a company involved in the game) and 4 stickers produced by Bridgestone (a tire manufacturer not involved in the game).
Logo-pdf.svg 1996-11-01 Mean Machines Sega (UK), "December 1996" "Arcadia"
A brief preview of the twin cabinet at the bottom of the page. Claims the game was programmed and developed by Sega AM4, but the description matches AM Annex.
Logo-pdf.svg 1996-11-13 Sega Magazine (JP), "1996-02 (1996-12)" A 4-page preview with in-depth breakdowns of the 4 car models previously mentioned, screenshots of several distinct game screens and guide to the 3 courses Country circuit, Grün walt circuit and Brick wall town. Includes an interview with 小口 康史, public relations manager for Mercedes-Benz, and 佐藤 正勝, a professional photographer for ITC (International Touring Car), about the appeal of ITC and their experience playing the game. Several signed pieces of Mercedes-Benz merchandise are presented in a giveaway to readers who would write to the given address (deadline is December 12). In small text at the bottom of the page is the address for the Sega Touring Car Championship website with several promises of content.

The highest score recorded by an AM Annex staffer as of November 30 (2'48"896 with MERCEDES/MT) is given. A tip is given on how to access "Expert Mode". A report written by developer Kenji Arai covers AM Annex's research trip to see ITC (International Touring Car) at Suzuka International Racing Course, with several photographs included.
