- Single Race - with 172 Tracks to drive on, in 34 sceneries - over 5 hours to drive all
- Ghost drive - chase your best time car on track
- Track's ghost - best drive for track, a green ghost car ES, on all tracks (not reversed)
- Replays - save your drive and watch it from other cameras later
- Tutorials - few short and easy tracks to show various track elements
- Championships - usually long series of tracks, drive to get higher score, if too low repeat a stage
- Challenges - few tracks, quite difficult to pass, game already set up.
Drive with no mistakes to win bronze, silver or gold prize.
- Split Screen - 2 to 4 players on 1 screen (requires a good GPU, it's best to reduce graphics options)
- Multiplayer - single races over internet, in-game chat, (see Wiki)
Gameplay
- Simulation modes: Easy (beginner) and Normal
- Stunt tracks having: jumps, loops, pipes or very twisted road
- Choose from 20 cars (ES is best for rally), few are quite exotic
- Other vehicles: motorbike, hovering spaceships, bouncy sphere
- Drives through water or mud areas
- Dynamic objects on tracks (barrels, boxes, etc), can be hit with car
Input
- Game controllers support (gamepad, steering wheel, joystick etc.)
- Input configuring (reassign keys, change sensitivity)
Gui and HUD
- Pacenotes - signs above road telling about:
- turns (and their difficulty), long turns, loops,
- jumps with required speed, on pipe changes, terrain bumps and jumps
- Minimap, can be zoomed and rotated
- Driving aids
- arrow to next check point
- next check point beam
- track completion percentage
- time difference and current points shown on each checkpoint
- Detailed list of tracks with:
- ratings and stats (eg. difficulty, length, rating, width, jumps, loops, obstacles and much more)
- preview image and minimap
- Several gauge types (rpm and velocity)
Graphics
- 8 Graphics presets for quick change to match hardware performance
- Many graphics options to tweak each feature individually
- Terrain triplanar mapping
- Car/water reflections and fresnel, water refraction
- Various effects (but significantly lower performance):
- bloom, motion blur, ssao (ambient shadows)
- slightly broken: depth of field, god rays, HDR
Track Editor
- Spline based road - no predefined sets or tiles, giving road absolute freedom in 3D, smoothed between points
- Real-time editing of road points and their parameters - quick adjusting with keys or mouse to see how it looks
- Changing all of track parameters in editor (no other tools needed), after each save track is ready to play in game
- Several brushes for terrain editing (87 total)
- Terrain generator with many parameters
- In-editor Help page with all key shortcuts and mouse actions listed
- Console tab, listing track errors, warnings and hints on save
- Wiki page and video tutorials available
- No undo - using quick save and quick load

- Tire functions (Pacejka magic formula) editing while driving
