There is your quick race mode, free drive and weekly challenges to offer more for those who want to keep going back to set new times and enter leaderboards.

With the races bringing different terrains, narrowing tracks and a huge variety in turns – all made that more intense with the chance of hitting trees or even going off the edge of mountain. When it comes to racing simulators, nothing brings more thrills and excitement more than the rally genre. The question is can Kylotonn close the close the gap even further with their new entry? Gameplay However over the last few instalments WRC has been closing the gap between the franchises. For many years Dirt Rally has held the crown for the rally simulator for fans of the sport.
