Sega Touring Car Championship Special follows in the footsteps of the older Sega Rally Special Stage being a specialised version of Touring Car where players drove inside full-sized vehicles acting as motion simulators. Unlike Sega Rally Special Stage, however, Sega Touring Car Championship Special was built with a choice of three cars; the Toyota Supra, AMG-Mercedes C-Class and Alfa Romeo 155, with the Opel Calibra being removed entirely from the game. This meant it was possible to race against two other human opponents (making it the only version of Sega Touring Car to support more than two players), while the footage was shown on three large monitors for spectators to view.

Like the majority of Sega's medium-scale attractions from the 90s, no installations of Sega Touring Car Championship Special are currently known to be in operation - the original version went with Kyoto Joypolis upon its 2002 closure, Okayama Joypolis had its units removed, and it was succeeded at Tokyo Joypolis by Initial D Arcade Stage 4 Limited, fulfilling the same purpose with a newer game.
