Finish Richard Burns Rally

A co-driver reading pace notes ahead of the corner, and an Impreza sideways through a Corsican forest.

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.

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

Your Stage: a pair of sliders generate a rally stage nobody has ever driven, then the co-driver reads its notes.

The simulation line continued, with stages that rut and break up as each car in the field runs them.
