Fight the pack to gain position without losing control of your car as you race on nine different original tracks of the British Touring Car Championships. This game features eight different game modes, such as single race, championship, time trial, and party play. More commonly known as TOCA Touring Car Championship, the first game of the series was released for the PC and PlayStation platforms in late 1997 in Europe, and in summer 1998 in the United States. Featuring all the licensed cars (not including privateers) and tracks from the 1997 British Touring Car Championship, the game was critically acclaimed by the European games press - especially on console where it was widely considered the best in its genre until the release of Gran Turismo several months later.
