Drivers will start with eight cars no matter if what the starting level of Beginner or Normal is used. They will require doing a career to unlock the remaining 21 cars. In Beginner mode, drivers are able to restart a race at any point in a rally they wish. However in Normal, in order to restart, drivers must race the entire rally over no matter what.
Outside of the career mode one can take part in time attacks. When participating in these, a ghost of the driver's best lap is loaded ,saved or played every time one undertakes that race. There is also a split screen multi-player mode in which players race head-to-head in whatever race mode they are.
