Finish Colin McRae Rally

An arcade mode that finally puts a rival on the stage beside you, over the championship the first game shipped with.

The first Colin McRae on the Xbox, rebuilt for the PlayStation 2 generation around a Ford Focus.

The first of the run without the official WRC licence, so every car carries an invented livery.

A damage model that scratches the paint before it bends the panels, and a career that promotes you between championships.

One car, one stage, no assists and a rally school to teach the handbrake; still patched by its community.

Geoff Crammond simulates the 1994 Formula One season down to the setup sheet and the tyre wear.

The series moves to the Xbox 360 and opens out from pure rally into hillclimbs, rallycross and trucks.

Codemasters drop the festival and go back to long stages, real damage and a repair budget between them.
