Bugbear Entertainment and JoWood Productions. The cars modelled areMini Cooper 1275S,Saab 96 V4,Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA,Fiat 600 Abarth ,Opel Kadett ,Lancia Fulvia ,Ford Cortina ,Ford Escort MK1 RS2000,Volvo Amazon ,Alpine A110 andLancia Stratos . In the game, the player is taken through 42 highly detailed stages in five countries -Russia ,Sweden ,Finland ,Switzerland andKenya - which cover several road surfaces includinggravel ,mud andtarmac . Stages take place in all weather conditions such as rain in both the day and night. Damage is accurately re-created, even down to broken headlights which the player must of course preserve to see during night stages. Rally Trophy was considered by many people to be theGrand Prix Legends of rally driving, due to its focus on historic cars, and the physics models of the cars (with no traction control or driver aids) being relatively realistic and challenging for its time.Community
The game has a large community, with many add-ons and utilities available from the sites in the links section below.
In May 2005, No-Grip.net closed, but was revived some time later. Some of the files have been copied to Blackhole Motorsports. In 2007, No-Grip.net moved to nogripracing.com.
