A.R.S.E.

In 2011 RBR-Online.it announced that they would start work on a scratch-build Rally simulation named gRally.
This was good new for sim racing rally fans, because of the lack of a good rally Simulator besides RBR. The ever so popular Richard Burns Rally or RBR in short, has been the mother of all rally simulations for a long time.

After all these years, the title has become somewhat dated as far as graphics and technology are concerned. For this reason, lots of its fans were on the lookout for a replacement. There have been a few rally games released since then, but they never seemed to appeal the Rally Sim audience. Furthermore, there is a need for a better online multiplayer experience. This is where the gRally project originated.

The gRally team is now taking their rally sim project to the next level, by listing themselves on the Steam Greenlight platform. Once on Steam Greenlight, developers are able to submit information about their games, as well as early builds or beta versions, for consideration by users. Users can pledge support for these games, and Valve will help to make top-pledged games available on the Steam service.

To make it past the Steam Greenlight process gRally needs our help. Please support the gRally team by voting YES on their official Steam Greenlight page.
