Play Network Q RAC Rally Championship Online

Network Q RAC Rally Championship came out in 1996 for MS-DOS, developed by Magnetic Fields and published by Gremlin Interactive. It was part of that wave of mid-90s racing sims that tried to capture the raw, unpredictable feel of off-road competition without the flash of arcade racers. You got a solid, no-frills rally experience that demanded your full attention from the moment you selected a car.

You control a rally driver through a series of timed stages, navigating narrow, often punishing tracks based on real UK rally locations. Your main objective is simple: finish each stage as fast as possible without wrecking your car. The game uses a screen-by-screen forward progression, which means you can't see what's coming beyond the next bend, relying entirely on your co-driver's pace notes read aloud. Managing damage is critical; hit something too hard and your steering or acceleration suffers for the rest of the stage. The pacing is tense, the difficulty unforgiving, especially in adverse weather where traction vanishes. It feels like a constant battle between pushing for speed and holding back just enough to survive.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
