A Top Gear Rally sequel, with Kemco developing and refining. More circuits, more cars and more believable weather. The driving stays arcade but feels noticeably more convincing than in the original, and the variety of stages keeps sessions going for a long time. An honest, well-balanced N64 rally vintage.

Description
Sequel to Top Gear Rally with more circuits, cars, and improved weather conditions. Published by Kemco, released in 1999 in Europe and North America. Circuits across several countries, drift mechanics, variable weather, car tuning, and championship and time trial modes.
North American run from 1999, the most widely distributed of the three yet already low-key against the platform's rally heavyweights. The US version often serves as the entry point toward the harder Japanese and PAL variants, and stands out for surface and weather simulation ambitious for the hardware. Its desirability owes less to extreme scarcity than to its role as the central piece of a small regional trilogy that completists aim to rebuild in full.
Is Top Gear Rally 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to Kemco's rally series, Top Gear Rally 2 enriches the formula with more tracks, cars and evolving weather conditions. The driving stays demanding and simulation oriented, with fine grip management by surface. The additions flesh out the offering without upending the model, in a decent production for the console's end of life. For a fan of retro rally or of the first game, the title keeps a solid interest and a rewarding technical driving for those who enjoy the discipline.
