Rally Championship is a racing game that follows the story of different characters competing in rally championships around the world. The player takes on the role of one of these characters, navigating through treacherous terrain and inclement weather to cross the finish line first. As the championship progresses, new cars and tracks are introduced, adding to the variety and challenge of the game.
The gameplay involves racing through 24 full stages, each with its own unique characteristics and challenges. The player can choose from different modes, including arcade, championship, and quick race, as well as a split-screen multiplayer mode for up to four players. The cars are simulated using a four-point physics system, adding a realistic touch to the gameplay.

Quick Rally
This mode allows you to practice any of the rallies that you have unlocked. Initially, only the first stage of Rally Africa and the first stage of the RSAC Scottish Rally will be available. As you progress through Career mode, more rallies will become available.
Alternatively, you can open up more rallies by finishing in first place when rallying in Quick Race. Every time you do this, an additional stage will become unlocked.
Choosing your car settings
When you select Quick Rally, you will be given the options of Player Set-up, Select Stage, Select Car, and Start Rally. Once you have selected Start Rally, you will proceed to the car set-up screen. When you are happy with your car set-up, you can proceed into the Rally.
By selecting this option, you will be taken to a screen where you will have the opportunity to tune and tweak the set-up of your car to obtain maximum performance from it.
Car Setup
The options you can alter here are:
•
Gear Ratio
Alter the size of the cogs to find the best balance between acceleration and top speed.
•
Suspension
Alter the stiffness of the springs and dampers. The stiffer the suspension, the more "rigid" the car will feel and hence the more responsive it will be on smooth surfaces. A stiff set-up is not suited to bumpy surfaces though.
•
Ride Height
Used in conjunction with the suspension set-up. Generally, the more bumpy a stage is, the higher you want the ride height to be to prevent the car "bottoming out" and potentially causing damage.
•
Brake Bias
Alter the balance front-to-rear of the brakes. A car with a front brake bias will tend to brake more efficiently but be harder to fling sideways.
•
Brake Power
The more grip a surface has, the more force you can apply through the brakes without the wheels locking and skidding. On low adhesion surfaces such as snow, the brake power is usually decreased.
•
Tyre Type
Possibly the most important of all the set-up options. There are four basic tyre types: tarmac, gravel, snow, and ice. Fit the type that best corresponds to the stage(s) you are about to drive on.
•
Tyre Tread
Select from Dry, Medium, or Wet.
•
Tyre Compound
The harder a tyre, the more durable it is but at the expense of grip. A soft tyre will probably prove to be quicker but you may find it wears out before the next service area.
Arcade
Arcade mode lets you race in a coin-op style setting against a timer that constantly counts down towards zero. As you pass each checkpoint, you are awarded more time; the goal is to race past the finish line before the time runs out.
In Arcade mode, there are three Championships to race through, each becoming increasingly harder: Amateur Mode, Champion Mode, and World Pro.
Career
This mode is the main part of Rally Championship™ and allows you to take the part of an aspiring Rally driver. You will work your way up from driving standard production Privateer cars in local Rallies, where you earn enough money to buy a 1600 Modified Rally car and enter the 1600 Rally Championship.
As you earn more money, you are able to move up to the 2000 class Rally Championship and finally on to the Class Pro Championship with some of the toughest, fastest cars in the world. It's these vehicles that sort the men from the boys (and girls!).
As you progress through each tier of the Rally car classifications, you will find they will become unlocked in Quick Race mode. So, when you enter the 1600 Modified Rally Championship, all of these cars will become unlocked in Quick Race for you to practice in, and it is the same for the 2000 Rally Championship and also the Class Pro.
When you first select career mode, you will be shown a menu screen containing the following options:
•
Race Current Pace Car
In Quick Rally, every time you play, your rallying experience is recorded. If you select this mode, you get the opportunity to rally against a representation of yourself in the ultimate test of driving skill. This mode is the ideal opportunity to tweak all of those detailed car settings to achieve the ultimate car set-up for each of the stages found in Rally Championship™. Tweak the car, race the stage against yourself, and then tweak some more!
•
Player Setup
It's here that you enter your name. This will be your name for all of career mode (unless you choose to reset the game progress - see OPTIONS). You can also change your Controller, Co-Driver, and Transmission settings in this menu.
•
Garage
This is where all of the cars you buy
Tips & Maps
60Hz mode
This game can be set to a clearer display and better quality on TVs that support 60Hz mode. To activate, press and hold the B Button while the NINTENDO GAMECUBE logo is displayed until prompted, then select YES.
Options
Through the Options menu you can adjust the Language, Audio, and Visual settings of Rally Championship. You can also reset your game progress, erasing your current playing profile.
The Fastest Line
When approaching a series of corners, it is often most important to get good speed out of the last corner rather than good speed into the first corner. A neat and tidy line is the best way to go, and turn in to the last corner late but sharply.
Jumps
Jumps are fun, but can lead to all sorts of problems if approached too fast or not straight. Remember you have no control over the direction of the car whilst it is in the air, so if you're turning as you leave the ground you will continue to turn in the air.
Driving on Snow
Loose snow is the hardest to drive on as it has less traction than the packed snow found on roads. It's all a case of balancing the throttle: using the brakes can often lock all four wheels and send you sliding gently into the snow banks.
The "Scandinavian Flick"
This is a technique for tight corners where you approach the corner, turn briefly away and apply brakes to slide sideways, then turn into the corner and apply full throttle to power through.
Hairpins and Handbrake Turns
Brake heavily close to the corner and turn in at the last minute, applying the handbrake for a very short time to initiate a slide. Start applying the throttle, varying the amount depending on whether the car is running too tight or too wide.
