Take the wheel in a rally racer styled after late-1990s 3D games, with stages set across different countries and landscapes. The driving is arcade-focused rather than a detailed simulation, and a co-driver provides turn callouts as you race.
Race against target times in short stages, compete in cups, or practice individual routes in Time Trial. Versus mode offers local split-screen racing, while Time Trial lets you chase your own records and compare times on global leaderboards.
Choose from rally cars with different performance characteristics, then earn or unlock more through progression. Daily challenges provide another short event, and car liveries can be customized with Workshop content.
