Turbo Speedway is a 1995 Czech racing video game developed by World Spy Software and published by Space Interactive for DOS compatible operating systems.^[1]

The game, a remake of the 1983 title Rally Speedway was sold for CZK 300.^[3] It was the first Czech racing game,^[4] and one of two games published by Space Interactive in 1996, along with Oil Empire by 88 Panzer Division.^[5] The game made a marginal profit.^[6]

The Hrej! newspaper wrote that Turbo Speedway was "one of the most daring [games] that has ever hit stores from Czech production". Score's Petr Slunéčko wrote the game was "characterized by its ugliness and lifelessness" and offered a scathing rating of 1/10.^[7]

iDNES commented that the game's only value from a modern perspective is that it illustrates the "spartan conditions in which the development of games took place in our country at that time".
