art of rally is a top-down rally driving game set in the golden era of the sport, from 1960s cars to Group B. Alongside a long career mode it runs online daily and weekly challenges, where everyone drives the same setup and competes for a place on the leaderboard.

About art of rally

art of rally is a rally game by Funselektor Labs, from the creator of Absolute Drift, released on Steam in September 2020 for Windows, Mac and Linux. It looks nothing like a typical racing sim: stages are shown from a high, angled top-down camera in a soft, low-poly style, with environments inspired by real rally countries.

The cars span the history of rally from the 1960s to the wild Group B era, and the handling rewards proper rally technique such as weight transfer, left-foot braking and handbrake turns. Career mode takes you across 91 stages.

The daily challenge is the part that brings players back every day. Each day the game sets a challenge on a given stage, and everyone who enters is ranked on a shared online leaderboard. A weekly challenge works the same way over a longer window, and the game lets you look back at previous daily and weekly leaderboards.

It also has a photo mode and replays for showing off runs. It suits players who want a short, focused driving test each day, and anyone who likes rally but prefers style and feel over simulation detail.
