The game is noted for its realism and detailed simulation of the sport, featuring authentic rally car handling, dynamic weather conditions (rain, snow, etc.), and various terrains (tarmac, gravel, dirt). The career mode includes a three-year championship with eight international rallies, car setup adjustments in the service areas, and the ability to damage your car, impacting your performance.

Gameplay: The primary mode is a three-year career championship where you compete in eight international rallies across different countries, including Australia, Finland, Greece, Japan, Spain, Sweden, the USA, and the UK.

Realism: The game is known for its detailed simulation of rally driving, including realistic handling, authentic car models like the Ford Focus RS WRC, and the ability to make detailed adjustments to the car's setup in the service areas. 

Weather and Terrain: Dynamic weather and different surfaces like tarmac, gravel, and dirt significantly affect handling, visibility, and overall performance. 

Damage and Consequences: Players can damage their cars during a stage, which can affect their handling and the car's performance. Wrecking the car can lead to being retired from a rally, costing valuable championship points.
