Car list is crazy http://igcd.net/game.php?id=1000013286 It's out now!

A little detour, but art of rally seems to be reviewing well. And they even say "the handling here has more in common with Dirt Rally than Sega Rally", see here: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-09-22-art-of-rally-review-a-slight-yet-stylish-take-on-off-road-driving

My favourite bit in RBR was where you watched Richard do the rally school stage pre-recorded, it felt like watching a champion at work, compared to how I'd been driving!

Omega Rally Championship is a similar rally style game on Microsoft Store (Win10 as well as Xbox), but it has few cars and tracks and an unusual steering method, when you point your joystick/thumbstick in the direction you want the car to go. It feels really broken at first! https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/omega-rally-championship/9n4wnpwrck47

Looks like a more bouncy version of classic PC game Ignition (aka Bleifuss Fun in Germany I think)

Beep beep: From their email: What's up with the game? It's almost complete and I've had to hire a bunch of people to help finish it including a producer, developers, and a community manager. We'll be announcing concrete things soon, so it shouldn't be too long before it's in your hands on PC! In other news, the game is also coming to GOG! And Funselektor has a new silly logo too!

Heh just found this thread searching for Monza Rally in games. There is a game with the event in, but it's a MotoGP title, Valentino Rossi - The Game! Here I show bits from Monza and Misano (a bonus rally track, I guess):

I picked up Street Legal Racing: Redline, which I had a long time ago, as it now seemed to contain rally style content, since new devs/fans have taken over (and I am making videos of every PC rally game on YouTube). I was somewhat disappointed to find that the rally stages in the game (and many other tracks) are just ripped from ToCA Race Driver 3. I have no idea if Codemasters care about this, given the game is no longer in print, but I thought I would mention it.

They could do DLC, but I expect the focus will be debugging, once live 😉

Note that the VVV videos were captured in medium graphics settings, so it can look better I expect!

Interesting article here: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-06-22-dirt-5-feels-more-like-a-new-motorstorm-than-a-new-dirt-and-thats-okay Made by ex-Evo team (Driveclub/OnRush) using their own engine, not EGO. New Dirt Rally game is coming too, separately (I would assume it might add some more WRC locations, so they can form the basis of the WRC games down the line, maybe).

Reminds me a lot of Sega Rally (Revo), especially blue skies wise! Then again, Codemasters did take them over. Bet the surface deformation isn't as fancy though 😁
