Sega Touring Car Championship (セガ ツーリングカーチャンピオンシップ) is an arcade racing game released by Sega's AM Annex for the Model 2 mainboard in 1996. It was later ported to the Sega Saturn and Microsoft Windows.

The game was housed in a sit-down cabinet with speakers installed on either side of the player's head and a subwoofer under the seat.[4] Sega Touring Car Championship received mixed reviews, with critics generally commenting that it has a remarkable sense of speed and realism, but that those factors also make the game excessively difficult.
