Hours of fun riding crazy vehicles in reckless races around open maps. Trucks, 6 wheeled bathtub, helicopter, inflatable boat, and many more. Lots of memories in split-screen with friends sharing one side of the keyboard

This is such a great racing game. Free movement, weird humorous commentary, exploding cars. But yeah, the freedom was awesome. And many classes of vehicles: monster trucks, jeeps, boats, helicopters, mini's, lorries. Awesome!
Came bundled with a PENTIUM 4 computer after purchasing and just had a BLAST! It wasn't that great on the GRAPHICS side but it blew my mind when I was a KID . .!

As a child, I yearned for open track boundaries. Well, that and chaotic multiplayer that tests human bonds. This game delivers both with a big bucket of whimsy. When friends are over, don't make 'em play any old mainstream "kart" racer--give 'em _total_ friendship destruction. Give 'em Big Red Racing.

As a child, I spent hours on the two tracks of the demo, trying to do the most incredible stunts ever. Physics and real 3D where such amazing at this time and it worked so well on my 486 computer. Then I finally bought the full game in its big box, to discover more circuits and vehicle, but also a wonderful soundtrack that was embedded as audio CD tracks.

I remember ordering this game on Special Reserve a mail-order catalog featured in UK gaming magazines in the 1990s. I had taken a month to get delivered but wow I loved this game as soon as I played it, Remember going off track to see what secrets lay beyond the track. Fun racing game.

I just remember the feeling I had as a young person playing this. The best part of it all was to try all the cool vehicles, and trying to explore the world beyond the tracks (which usually didn't work but a young player might still try to get more mileage out of the game).

Sega Rally Championship
Sega Rally ChampionshipSega Rally Championship is a 1994 arcade racing game developed by AM5 on the Sega Model 2 board. The unique selling point of Sega Rally was the ability to drive on different surfaces (including asphalt, gravel and mud), with different friction properties, with the car's handling changing accordingly. As the first racing game to incorporate this feature, Sega Rally is considered to be one of the milestones in the evolution of the racing game genre. The music for the arcade game was composed by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, while the Sega Saturn port's soundtrack was done by Naofumi Hataya and the Guitar were played by Joe Satriani.
