Sébastien Loeb is arguably the best rally driver in history, and certainly the most successful with nine consecutive World Rally Championship wins. This racing legend takes centre stage for the latest rally driving game from developer Milestone, as it is no longer making the officially licensed WRC titles. After four very arcade-y attempts at the genre, a change has finally come with a stronger emphasis on simulation.

Many drivers within the motorsport world have had their name attached to video game titles, including rally drivers such as Colin McRae, Richard Burns and Tommi Makinen.
