[[Image:Gticlub.jpg|thumb|GTI Club]]GTI Club is a [[racing game]] released for the arcade in [[1996]] by [[Konami]]. It runs on the [[Power PC]]-based hardware, and the game's graphics were very good for the time. In the game, the player could choose from 4 rally cars, and race in [[Cote D'Azur]]. The game allowed freeroaming of the environment, which was revolutionary for the time. A [[MAME]] rom of the game is available, but it does not work yet (there are problems with the network chip).
