[edit] Gameplay
Gamers familiar with the original Rallisport Challenge will find this game familiar. There are a few changes however. For example, you no longer need to win every rally to win the level, as this game ranks you on cumulative time. Also there are more restrictions on car usage, with only one, occasionally two, classes of cars available each race.
[edit] Cars
[edit] Rally
The first category of car is Rally. Each of these cars have 6 gears and AWD. These cars can be used in Rally and Crossover races in single player, and like all of the cars, can be used for any race in multiplayer.
Rally 1
Hyundai Accent Evo 3
Škoda Octiva RS
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII
SEAT Córdoba Evo 3
Rally 2
Ford Focus Air Force Reserve
Subaru Impreza WRX
Peugeot 206
Citroen Xsara T4
[edit] Group B
The second category of cars is the Group B class, all of which are 5-speed monsters that accelerate quickly and are very difficult for novices to control. These cars all took part in the original Group B races. However these overpowered supercars of rally were retired in 1986. Most superrally stages feature Group B cars exclusively.
Group B1
Renault 5 Turbo
MG Metro 6R4
Toyota Celica Twincam Turbo
Lancia 037 Rally
Group B2
Ford RS200
Peugeot 205
Lancia Delta S4
Audi Sport Quattro S1
[edit] Ice Racing
Another class of cars is Ice Racing, used for racing on a slick bed of ice. Acceleration is the same as a conventional rally car but a lower gear ratio and only 4 speeds gives these cars a top speed of about 125 mph (about 200 km/h). Also these cars have 4 wheel steering.

[edit] Rallycross
Rallycross cars are used for racing on closed circuit arenas at "high speeds". These cars are the fastest accelerating cars but slowest top speeds and if the gear ratios are set a certain way, cars may only go 100 mph.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI
Hyundai Accent GT
Ford RS200 Evo
Volvo 240 Turbo
Rallycross 2
Opel Astra T16
Citroen Xsara T16

[edit] Hillclimb
The fifth class of cars are the Hill Climb cars. They feature extra muscle in order to climb up and/or speed down mountain slopes. Hill climb cars top out the fastest at over 160 mph (about 260 km/h). Also tricky to control these 6-speed muscle machines can be suitable for most rallies.
