Mobil 1 Rally Championship (officially also called Mobil 1 British Rally Championship, unofficially nicknamed Rally Championship 2000) is a rally video game which is part of the Rally Championship series. The game was released for Windows and PlayStation in 31 December 1999. It is developed by Magnetic Fields and published by Actualize.

It is a sequel to the 1997 game International Rally Championship.

The game features 22 cars and 36 tracks from around the world. Although the official name of the game is Mobil 1 Rally Championship, it simply says "Rally Championship" on the front of the box and the game manual.

Reception

The Windows version of the game received extremely positive scores and rates, due to its incredibly high quality graphics for its time of release. The game has been viewed as one of the greatest racing games of its time. However, the PlayStation version was not very popular and was rated much lower, probably because the PlayStation version had lower quality graphics than the Windows version (due to system processor and graphics card).

Some of the ratings for the Windows version included:

  • "Both perfect rally simulation and eye-popping fast arcade actin. Sheer exhilarating pleasure" 5/5 Game of the Month - Maxim
  • "The most realistic game I have ever seen" Martin Rowe (British Rally Champion)
