Despite endorsement from one of the world's leading auto makers, Toyota Celica GT Rally is still a pretty poor rally racing game. The partly 3D, partly bitmapped graphics looks okay, and I also noticed nice PC speaker music, which actually sounds better than the ADLIB one.
But other than these bells and whistles, Toyota GT Rally doesn't have much to boast in the gameplay department. Car handling is decent, but the serious lack of consideration for real-world physics means that it feels more like you're driving a rocket (or, say, a hovercraft) than a car. The tracks are uninspiring, and the tournaments are too easy to beat-- just hold down the accelerate key for as long as you can.
Not recommended at all, unless you're a die-hard racing fan who must own every game in the genre ;)

The dos version of this game is really terrible, the game gets bad reviews and rightly so, the road view is almosy impossible to navigate fluently, but the Amiga or ST version it has a much better FOV and the road is proper distance it looks and feels more like the original RAC rally game from red rat software
Remember this as a kinda sad "left over" game, that was not horrible, but not great, mainly due to boring gameplay. But the graphics were kinda good for the time. Could play this for a while after getting bored by endless hours with The Duel, Stunts and RAC Rally which were the best racing ames of this era. Still, what the heck, childhood memories !
