Network Q RAC Rally Championship[a] is a rally computer game released for MS-DOS in October 1996.[1] It was developed by British studio Magnetic Fields and published by Europress as a sequel to Network Q RAC Rally (1993), the third and final officially licensed game based on the real-life RAC Rally event in Britain.
