SEGA Rally Championship is a 1994 racing video game developed by Sega AM3 and published by Sega. Originally released for arcades using the Sega Model 2 board, it was converted to the Sega Saturn in 1995 and Windows in 1997. The unique selling point of Sega Rally Championship was the ability to drive on different surfaces, with different friction properties, with the car’s handling changing accordingly.

As the first racing game to incorporate this feature, Sega Rally Championship is considered to be one of the milestones in the evolution of the racing game genre. It was also an early rally racing game and featured cooperative gameplay alongside the usual competitive multiplayer. The player can enter a “World Championship” mode consisting of three stages: Desert (which resembles African savanna), Forest (which is based on Yosemite National Park) and Mountain (which is in Corsica), where their finishing position at the end of one course is carried through to the starting position of the next course.

In this mode, it is impossible to reach first-place position by the end of the first track; thus, the player must try to overtake as many opponent cars as possible on each track (while staying within the time limit), and gain the lead over several tracks. If, at the end of the third round, the player is in first place, they are able to play a fourth secret circuit called “Lakeside” (on the Saturn version, this course may then be played in time attack and split-screen multiplayer modes).
