The 1998 RAC Tourist Trophy was the 56th running of the annual RAC Tourist Trophy. It was held on 18 October 1998 on the Silverstone International Circuit in Northamptonshire & Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom for the first time since 1988. It was the third consecutive event organised by TOCA as a non-championship touring car race and featured teams from the United Kingdom across continental Europe.
The 1998 RAC Tourist Trophy was open to Super Touring Cars and was held over two 17 lap races, with the grid of the first race being set by a 'one lap shootout' with the second race grid being formed by a more conventional 45 minute qualifying session. The Overall Classification was derived from a drivers average result from the two Qualifying sessions and the two races. 
In addition to the change of venue and minor format changes, TOCA introduced a total £1 Million prize fund to be spread across newly introduced categories. These new categories were: Best Team awarded to the team with the best average classification, Best Foreign entrant awarded to the highest ranked driver who wasn't from the United Kingdom or a driver who hadn't made an appearance in the 1998 British Touring Car Championship and finally best Privateer for both the best ranked driver and team competing without manufacturer backing.
