TOCA is a racing video game series developed and published by Codemasters, initially focusing specifically on Touring car racing but more recently expanding to cover a wide variety of motorsport. Since the series began in 1997 with TOCA Touring Car Championship, the franchise has been released on PC, Sony PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable, and Microsoft Xbox, with particular success in Europe and Australia where the motorsports featured are most popular. The series has different titles in different regions, most recently known as Pro Race Driver in the US, DTM Race Driver in Germany, and V8 Supercars in Australia.
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 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.
TOCA 2 Touring Cars
The success of the first TOCA game saw a sequel arrive a year later in 1998. Whilst mainly an annual franchise update of cars and tracks, the game did add more detailed graphics, physics, multiplayer modes and other minor features. The level of car damage possible during a race was also enhanced, which was a significant selling point compared with the likes of Gran Turismo. More on [ TOCA Touring Car series ]
