Recently I bought a batch of older games and this was one of the games among it.
For some inexplicable reason I've always thought this was a dosgame so I figured it wouldn't be a problem to load it in dosbox, but to my horror it is a Win9x game. 😒
I could install it by using windows 98 compatibility on the setup.exe and I got around the 'this is not a win 98 / NT' error by doin the same to the tourcar.exe.
Only now it crashes with a runtime error, see attachement, but it randomly gives any car (like VECTRA.PAL, NISSAN.PAL, etc.).

What I've already tried:
- update the game to 1.1a
- run compatibility modes
- run as administrator
- use dgVoodoo2

The cdrom I have is from Sold Out Software and the installer it runs from autorun won't even work because of Shockwave dependency but luckily I could just run the normal installer.
I'm open to suggestions if anyone has them. 😀

Apparently this person got it to work!

🤣, I already solved it.
This game doesn't like long folder names like D:\Games\Touring Car Championship\, I now installed in just D:\Games\ToCa\ and now it works. 🤣
