Rally Trophy

|
Rally Trophy is a historic PC rally simulation, created by Bugbear Entertainment and JoWood Productions. The cars modelled are Mini Cooper 1275S, Saab 96 V4, Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA, Opel Kadett, Lancia Fulvia, Ford Cortina, Ford Escort MK1 RS2000, Volvo Amazon and Lancia Stratos. In the game, the player is taken through 42 highly detailed stages in five countries - Russia, Sweden, Finland, Switzerland and Kenya - which cover several road surfaces including gravel, mud and tarmac. Stages take place in all weather conditions such as rain in both the day and night. Damage is accurately re-created, even down to broken headlights which the player must of course preserve to see during night stages. Rally Trophy is considered by many people to be the Grand Prix Legends of rally driving, as the physics models of the cars (with no traction control or driver aids) are very realistic and challenging.
Community
The game has a large community, with many add-ons and utilities available from the sites in the links section below.
In May 2005, No-Grip.net closed, after several years as the unofficial home of the game. However, there is now a new forum at Rally Games Central, and some of the files have been transferred to Blackhole Motorsports.
