mainboard in 1996.
(DTM) '95 series (German Touring Car Championship) where three European makers were competing at this time. Although the DTM cars are licensed, the three courses named "Country Circuit", "Grünwalt Circuit" & "Brickwall Town" (as well as the bonus stages) are all fictitious. Since the game is released one year after the original version, the Sega Saturn
version includes both DTM'95 series and ITC'96 series. The Toyota Supra
is not a DTM car but a JGTC one instead. Home versions were released on Sega Saturn
system (1997) and PC
(1998). This game was such popular in Japan that Colombia Music Entertainment released a music video/racing techniques 45' VHS in the domestic market to promote the Sega Saturn
version. Strangely enough, two rally cars from Sega Rally Championship
made a special appearance to the home console versions, then known as the Toyota Celica GT-Four (ST205) and the Lancia Delta HF Integrale.
