Championship Rally

About

Championship Rally is a top-down racing game from 1993 that lets you drive real-world rally cars like the Toyota Celica and Lancia Delta. You pick a vehicle and tweak settings like steering and gears before racing through three distinct modes. Time attack challenges you to beat the clock. High speed rally adds checkpoints and distance goals. The adventure mode strings races together into a single championship set in Senegal. Controls stick to basics with separate buttons for gas and brakes. The focus is on raw speed and handling rather than complex mechanics. The adventure mode stands out as a rare early example of a story-driven racing arc. With no modern ratings to reference, its legacy leans on retro appeal and straightforward gameplay. It runs on Turbografx-16 and PC Engine CD systems. The mix of real cars and customizable settings keeps it feeling hands-on despite its age. Short races and clear objectives make it easy to pick up but tough to master.
