Game description: Live the life of a rally driver and prove your skills around the world. As part of the Ford Rally Sport Team, you'll have access to authentic high-performance rally cars, including Mitsubishi Lancer EVO 7, Subaru Impreza WRX, Citroen Saxo Kit Car, and Ford Focus RS WRC. It's a race against the clock through 56 stages from the United Kingdom to the United States. If you damage your car or the landscape, the path to the finish line will be a shaky one.
First entry of the series on PS2, notably, this is the first game in which the Peugeot 206 is completely absent.

Known Issues
Broken AI during super special stages
- Status: Active
- Type: Major
- Description: During super special stages, you have to race against an AI in a looped track. The AI path will eventually break and get stuck on the scenery. Since the time is fixed this doesn't prevent you from completing the stage, but if you accidentaly bump the opponent, you will be disqualified. This is the same FPU bug that happens in both Stuntman and Driv3r.
- Workaround: No known workaround. Even by messing with EE Rounding, the AI path will still break after a while.
- Last tested on: v1.7.5780
Fixed Issues
Vertical lines
- Status: Fixed
- Type: Minor
- Description: Using one of the hardware renderers with the internal resolution set higher than native vertical lines appear accross the image.
- Workaround: Update to the latest nightly version of PCSX2.
- Last tested on: v1.7.5750
