A 3D rally simulation with a great physics engine for drifting, over 200 maps, different terrain materials like dirt, asphalt, sand, ice etc. and various weather, light and fog conditions give this rally simulation the edge over many other free games. You need to make it through the maps in often tight time limits and can further improve by beating the recorded high scores. All attached single races must be finished in time in order to win an event, unlocking additional events and cars. Most maps are equipped with spoken co-driver notes and co-driver icons.
Many configuration details for display and audio adjustments can be edited in the well documented plain text configuration file.
Additional contributed maps and events are ready for download as plugins.
Trigger Rally works well with common low performance laptops from about 2008. And if something like snow flakes and vegetation sprites demand to much from your system you can just disable it.

Used to love this game in my childhood. Still a very fun game to play from time to time, but I think there's some room for improvement. The Fox vehicles (formerly Ford Focuses I recall) have virtually zero control whatsoever. The back wheels seem to have zero traction on any road, causing it to spin out even on tarmac and dirt straights. The other cars seem to hold up relatively well though, given I'm playing in the early game. Most games I've played allow you to be much more liberal with the gas pedal, but the thing that makes this game interesting is that you have to master the use of the breaks and limit your top speed because the roads are so rough. Although I would prefer to drive at full speed on tarmac roads without spinning out or tumbling, it does nonetheless add a complexity to the game that makes you want to master it when you get just good enough to handle Old McDonald's Farm.

Note low hardware requirement, you can play on an ancient laptop

Nice physics, devs should change the gravity, it's not very realistic...
