Au revoir.
I respectfully disagree on your opinions of Rally Game & GT being the same.

They’re close yes, but our GT events are typically held on larger tracks with full length straight sections left intact. Thus, our style of GT race cars realize some very high track speeds.

GT racing a single speed set-up is possible, but it would put much strain on nitro engines to carry the higher top speeds we do experience on the bigger tracks.

Site for our 2012 GT World Championships.


One could gear a single speed Rally Game car to achieve the top speeds found in GT racing, but the trade off would be much slower infield acceleration as a result.

Your French version of Rally game is similar to GT on smaller tighter layouts, but would prove very different on the larger and higher speed open tracks we’ve grown accustomed to with our 2-speed GT nitro cars.

Cool little video clip, thanks for sharing!
