Play Lombard Rac Rally Online

Lombard RAC Rally is a driving simulation game released in 1988 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed by Red Rat Software Ltd and published by Mandarin Software, it is a licensed title that recreates the stages of the Lombard RAC rally. The game falls into genres including vehicle simulator, track racing, and off-road driving, and it is presented from a first-person perspective.

Players control a rally car through a series of stages that make up the full rally event. The objective is to navigate these courses, which feature varying road conditions and layouts, within time constraints. Progression is structured around completing each sequential stage. Key gameplay systems include managing the car's condition, as a workshop option allows for repairs and performance adjustments to gain speed. The simulation also incorporates environmental factors, with stages taking place during day or night and under different weather conditions like fog and snow.

A notable technical feature of the game is its cockpit view, which is rendered from behind the car's front seats. This perspective shows the in-game driver operating the steering wheel and gearstick. The co-driver character is visible holding a map, which dynamically changes colour to indicate sections of the track that have been completed. This visual feedback provides players with information on their progress along each route.
