If you have been to British countryside, the environment is all too familiar. Cliffsides look out to the open ocean, forests have deep ditches and muddy gulches, and quaint cottages scatter the roadsides almost inviting you to visit. That has all changed here with each track feeling like a real location. While this meant those entries could include a track editor (that option is missing here), it also meant the courses had little personality or realism. Previously, tracks seem to have been rendered through an algorithm instead of fully designed and thought out terrain. This was true of the last game, but the attention to detail has been greatly improved. You have a commendable number of cars and tracks to choose from, and several gameplay modes to suit differing playstyles. Lighting and weather effects look spectacular for its time and the colours pop making the country tracks look like lush places to visit. Graphically speaking, it is a massive improvement over the previous entry. At the time, I had no idea it was part of the Network Q series and its product placement followed by a generic title did it little favours too, but I have been curious to try it out since playing all of the previous entries for this site.

It released in 1999 to stellar reviews even earning top marks in Computer and Video Games (CVG) magazine with many other not far below it.

The fourth and last of entry of Magnetic Fields long-running rally racing series, Mobil 1 Rally Championship would also be the developer's last game ever.
