Richard Burns Rally (commonly referred to as RBR) is a PC/PS2/Xbox/Gizmondo racing simulator, published by SCi and developed by Warthog with advices of World Rally Championship driver Richard Burns. It simulates both classic and modern rally, and is best known for its extremely realistic physics engine.

This game is considered by many to be one of the most realistic and difficult racing simulators. RBR was not made to be moddable, but despite this there are mods available due to a very strong online community. The game was originally an offline racing game but user created mods have enabled online play.

A sequel to the game is out of the question owing to the sad death of Richard Burns in 2005, due to a brain tumour. The funds from people who continue to buy the game are apparantly going to the Richard Burns Foundation, which cares for people with illness.
