''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.

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.

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.
