Richard Burns Rally
SMS Developers · 2004
Richard Burns Rally is a sim racing game developed by Warthog and published by SCi in 2004. It features eight cars and thirty-six rally stages modelled from real locations including Gateshead forest, Nevada, Canberra, Hokkaido, the French Alps, and the Arctic Circle. Its defining trait is an uncompromising physics engine shaped by on-location scouting, precise measurement of road width, camber and texture, and direct input from rally drivers Richard Burns and Possum Bourne. It simulates both classic and modern rallying, and is defined by high difficulty—not as a flaw, but as a consequence of its fidelity-first design.
