Lombard RAC Rally is a fun driving simulation of a real-world of the same name, now called Network Q RAC Rally which takes place every year in Britain. You get to drive all the stages in the rally from the first-person perspective. You can choose to drive the whole tournament, or any of the 5 legs that make up the rally.
Lombard RAC Rally is a great simulation of the tournament that is not commonly seen on the computer. The graphics are crisp and clear in EGA, and the car feels reasonably realistic. The game includes day and night races, different weather conditions such as fog and snow, and varied scenery graphics. To round things off, you can enter the workshop to repair and tweak your car, practice any of the legs, and even participate in a multiple-choice TV quiz to try to earn some cash.
Overall, if you like rally games, Lombard RAC Rally is well worth a look. Highly recommended!

it's very good actually.
codemasters and co. can really learn something of that view even today.
also, it is from 1989 and not 1988 as they say in the top of the page here.

first-person perspective? So the POV is the 3rd guy in the back seat????
Probably the first attempt for a realistic Rally game. All things considered.
Fun game, hard game, with long races, under different times and weather conditions. Even modern games don't have so many different settings.
Great game for the time.
I played this as an 11 year old and after a bit of practice aced it. Downloaded it again a few years back and as an adult I can hardly keep on the road, let alone zip through at 90mph. Tough game, but lots of fun!
