World Tour Racing is a 1997 racing video game developed by Teque London and published by Telegames for the Atari Jaguar CD. In the game, the player controls a Formula One car competing against computer-controlled opponents in races across multiple locations. Gameplay consists of three modes and the player can customize the vehicle's characteristics.


World Tour Racing was programmed by Lee Briggs, who worked on several Zeppelin Games releases. The developers aimed to imitate Virtua Racing for the Jaguar, but the polygonal look became outdated as it progressed and were pressured to include texture mapping. The music was scored by Stephen Morgan, who also composed Val d'Isère Skiing and Snowboarding. In 1996, Atari merged with JTS and ceased production of the Jaguar, resulting in the game not being released despite being finished. Telegames became involved after sub-licensing it from Atari and Briggs helped resolve technical issues so the game could be published. A PC version was planned but never released.


World Tour Racing received average reception from critics and retrospective commentators; the music, multiplayer, and AI were praised, but others expressed mixed opinions regarding the controls, while some criticized the visuals, frame rate, and lack of Memory Track support.
