ABOUT US
FROM THE CREATORS OF RBR-ONLINE.
gRally is a dream that became reality following the outstanding experience made with RBR-Online. The idea behind it is simple: to involve the player even more than he could have been while playing with Richard Burns Rally, developing a platform that allows him to create, manage, and participate in an online rally championship. This game also offers the modder community the possibility to constantly create and upload new content to make it even richer. The long-awaited dream is now a reality.
The game.
CRAZY
For rallies.
From players to players.
Heartbeat rises. The engine sounds too. The RPM indicator is striving to 9K revs. The left hand grabs hold of the steering wheel, and the right one holds onto the handbrake. The countdown is inexorably running to the “00:00”. Close your eyes. Stay focused. You are right against time and the threats of the special stage.
If you have already tried such emotions, very likely you might have challenged a rally during your own life.
If it’s unknown to you, gRally is the driving experience you’re looking for. Lose yourself among the emotions delivered by this discipline, pushing your car to its limits while experiencing engaging stages.
VEHICLE DYNAMIC. Crazy FOR PHYSICS.
FROM HARDSIMMER TO HARDSIMMER.
gRally has been developed targeting the best possible rally driving experience. Because of this, thousands of hours have been spent creating a vehicle dynamics capable of reproducing a realistic behaviour related to several types of cars and transmissions.
The physics of gRally has been coded to properly react to the road conditions a rally driver may face while driving in order to offer the closest possible simulation of reality. To do so, a genuine force feedback has been tuned thanks to the experience of professional racing drivers.
gRally introduces an innovative and unique approach to managing the notes, thanks to the “RECCE” mode. This modality allows the driver to get a sequence of accurate and “tailor-made” indications, like the pro does.
It is sufficient to try to drive the ideal line on a stage without steering corrections to get the perfect roadbook.
RECCE mode gives the driver unprecedented flexibility in managing the pace notes. The number of notes takes into account the radius of the turn and not a modder’s subjective point of view.
FROM US TO YOU.

The Future of Rally Simulation: AI Co-Drivers, VR and Beyond
Rally simulation has been changing big time. What started as basic arcade games has grown into training tools that real drivers use. Today, three main things are changing how we experience virtual rally racing. And those are smart AI co-drivers, VR headsets, and amazing new hardware.
These tools are making rally sims more real than ever before. Let’s look at how these changes are creating new ways for both casual gamers and pro drivers.
From Arcade Roots to Hyper-Realism
Early rally games were simple. They had basic graphics and physics only, and they barely matched real driving. But today’s rally sims are different. Games like DiRT Rally 2.0 and WRC use laser-scanned tracks that can copy every bump and curve from real rally stages.
The cars react just like their real counterparts. The tire models can change based on the surface, temperature, and wear. Racing teams now use this tech to train their drivers. The gap between virtual and real rally is getting smaller each year.
AI Co-Drivers
Old rally games used to have basic co-drivers who just read pre-recorded notes. But the future of rally simulation can bring AI co-drivers that learn and adapt. They study how you drive and also adjust their pace notes to match your style.
This tech comes from advancements seen in Formula 1 and Gran Turismo. Here, AI like GT Sophy learns from human racers. In rally sims, these smart co-drivers can now notice when you’re struggling with a section and give you more detailed notes next time. They can even suggest different racing lines based on your car setup or changing weather. And this makes learning new stages faster and more fun.
VR and Immersive Racing
Racing on flat screens is fun, but VR puts you right in the driver’s seat. With VR headsets, you can look around naturally in the car, check your mirrors, and judge distances better. This is huge for rally racing, where seeing the road ahead is so important.
Modern headsets can also give you wide views and sharp details. Because of this, they can now help you spot hazards on the track. You can also feel every bump and slide when you add motion platforms that move your seat. And these systems shake when you hit rough patches and tilt when your car leans into turns. Research shows that including motion feedback notably boosts immersion and reduces simulator sickness. Your brain gets tricked into thinking you’re really flying down a forest road in Finland!
Advanced Hardware
The steering wheels and pedals for sim racing have gotten amazing. Direct drive wheels use powerful motors that let you feel every rock and rut. They fight against your hands when the car loses grip. Just like a real steering wheel would.
Hydraulic pedals also give the right amount of push-back when you brake or hit the gas. Some setups even include shifters with real resistance and handbrakes that feel just like the ones in rally cars. For serious racers, full motion rigs can lift, tilt, and shake to copy what happens in the car. You feel the weight shift when you slide around corners or jump over crests.
AI in Race Strategy and Telemetry
AI doesn’t just help with driving – it analyzes how you race. It can study thousands of runs through a stage to find where you’re losing time. These smart systems spot if you’re braking too early or not using the right gear. They can suggest small changes that make big differences.
AI matches you with drivers at your skill level for online racing. And this makes races closer and more exciting. The computer can even create custom training programs based on your weaknesses. And because of this, it helps you improve faster than just practicing alone.
The Evolution of Rally Simulators: From Arcade to Authentic
Arcade Beginnings: The Birth of Rally Gaming
Rally simulators started in the arcades of the 1970s and 1980s, where racing games had simple graphics, basic controls, and fun over realism. Games like Sega Rally released in 1995 were groundbreaking for their time, introducing players to off-road racing with responsive controls and, for the era, surprisingly realistic handling. These games didn’t aim for true-to-life physics but ignited a passion for rallying among gamers and laid the foundation for the genre.
The Rise of Realism: Console and PC Innovations
The late 1990s and early 2000s were a turning point as technology advanced and player expectations shifted towards authenticity. Gran Turismo, launched in 1997, revolutionized racing games with its focus on accurate vehicle physics, detailed car models, and realistic tracks. Although not a rally simulator, it had rally modes, and attention to driving dynamics inspired a new wave of simulation-focused titles. The 2000s saw the emergence of dedicated rally simulators like Richard Burns Rally (2004), which set a new standard for realism with its uncompromising physics, challenging handling, and technical depth. Unlike its arcade predecessors, Richard Burns Rally demanded skill, patience, and a deep understanding of rally driving and earned a devoted following that still exists today.
Physics and Feedback: The Pursuit of Authenticity
Modern rally simulators are all about authenticity. Today’s top titles – Richard Burns Rally (especially the modded RallySimFans edition), DiRT Rally 2.0, and the official EA SPORTS WRC series – are all about replicating the real world. Developers simulate tire grip, suspension movement, vehicle weight transfer, and even changing weather and road conditions. Force feedback technology delivered through advanced racing wheels and pedals lets you feel every bump, slide, and loss of traction, and blurs the line between virtual and real-world driving. Games like rFactor 2 and iRacing have taken it to the next level with laser-scanned tracks and cars modelled with incredible attention to detail, so every stage and car behaves like its real-world counterpart.
Technological Advances: Motion Control and Virtual Reality
The pursuit of immersion has led to the integration of advanced motion control systems and virtual reality. High-end simulators now have motion platforms that physically move in response to in-game actions, replicating the sensation of acceleration, braking, and cornering. This level of feedback, combined with VR headsets, creates an experience so lifelike that professional rally drivers use these setups for training and practice. The result is a simulation environment where you can actually develop real-world driving skills.
Community and Modding: Shaping the Future
A passionate community of modders has been instrumental in the evolution of rally simulators. Richard Burns Rally, for example, has been kept alive and continually updated through community-driven updates, new cars, stages, and physics enhancements. This collaborative spirit means even older titles remain relevant and offer features and realism that rival or surpass newer commercial releases.
From Arcade to Authentic: A Lasting Legacy
The evolution of rally simulators is part of a broader trend in gaming: the move from accessible, arcade-style fun to deeply authentic, skill-based experiences. Today’s rally sims offer a level of immersion and challenge that was unimaginable in the genre’s early days. As technology advances, the line between simulation and reality will only get closer and closer, and the thrill of rallying will be accessible to both enthusiasts and newcomers.
