Rally Trophy

[Rigormortis]

I suppose there are quite a few pistonheads who still play computer games, and definitely plenty of crumblies who remember (if not still play) grand prix legends.

Anyway, I suppose this is at least half way relevant:

In my opinion, most racing games are tat, with the obvious exception of GPL - but someone was playing this game [rally trophy] at work using the keyboard and mouse, and you really should've seen my jaw drop. I went to a dixons superstore on the way home and bought a geforce3 , a microsoft steering wheel and a copy of the game

I haven't stopped grinning yet. I probably even slept with a big cheesy grin last night. Ahem.

There's nothing quite as nice as driving a beat-up mk1 cortina sideways at seventy miles an hour and checking out the 300' long cloud of dust you kicked up


Unless it's driving a fiat 600 / lancia fulvia/ cooper s / escort rs2000 sideways at 70mph.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So what is the game called.
I used to own Mk 1 Cortinas and would love to thrash one round a track.

Name of the post, 'rally trophy'.

This is a fantastic game, it's almost worth the 400 odd quid I (impulsively ) spent just to play it -
Should be called grand prix legends rally.

How does it compare to Colin Mcrae 2 and Rally championship? Both excellent games.

Anyway cheeky I recently bought a momo FF steering wheel for grand prix legends which I have played and still play for a good many years.

If you're into GPL then have a look at the downloads that are available better graphics, sounds and more tracks you can wave a zimmer frame at

Ahh, finally the GPL crumbly cronies are crawling out of the woodwork...

edit >> okay, just knocked up a website, take a look:

It's much more of a sim than mcrae 2, and the cars are far more interesting than those in mobil1.
Driving classic RWD cars on loose gravel / mud / snow is incredibly challenging, and loads of fun.

Welcome to the world of constant oversteer
