Richard Burns Rally, with mods, remains the most realistic rally sim even a decade after its release, and thanks to a creative community, has hundreds of stages (with some very detailed realizations of real world stages) and dozens of cars available for it. It can be hard to find now, physical copies are getting expensive, and I see more and more people asking where to buy it.
This game is a GEM that needs to be preserved, and made accessible to all rally & racing fans. If a carefully curated selection of Good (relatively) Old Games is still a concern for GOG, this title needs to be included in the catalogue.
Please vote, and spread the word! Even if you're not into racing games yourself ;-)
