Line 15:
* [[Driving Stick]] : As in many rally racing games, you can choose either manual or automatic transmission. Automatic is easier to drive with (especially for newcomers), while manual is harder, but more sensitive and responsive.
* [[Game Mod]] : Racing games traditionally aren't overly modding-friendly (even the ones with huge fan communities), but RT had a surprisingly great amount of fan-made custom content. Some quality stuff was made back in the day - especially many additional cars, both old and new, and even entire new stages and countries (the Australian maps were among the best). If you already own the game, you can start looking for various mods and add-ons [https://web.archive.org/web/20131007075958/http://www.nogripracing.com/files.php?maincat=1 here], [http://www.bhmotorsports.com/RT/downloads here] and [http://www.bhmotorsports.com/RT/mods here].
** ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150910091032/http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=671 TT Real Mod]'' is aimed at further enhancing the already high level of realistic driving physics from the vanilla game.
** Notable total conversions are the [[Present Day]] ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131013065618/http://www.nogripracing.com/files.php?subcat=16 WRC Mod]'' and the unofficial [[Fan Sequel]] ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20131016032123/http://www.nogripracing.com/files.php?subcat=91 Rally Trophy II]''.
* [[George Lucas Throwback]] : The whole point and theme of the game.
* [[Every Car Is Rear Wheel Drive]] : [[Playing with a Trope|Played with.]] Of all 11 cars, 8 are RWD - and they vary a lot in terms of performance and the amount of skill needed for driving them. It's generally better to start with the more easily accessible <small>FWD</small>s (the [[Badass Normal|SAAB 96]], [[Fragile Speedster|Lancia Fulvia]] and [[Badass Adorable|Mini Cooper]]) and then gradually accustom yourself to the rear wheel drives. Some <small>RWD</small>s in the game can be literally sadistically hard to keep on the road along a straight line, with the [[Cool but Inefficient|Lancia]] [[Crazy Awesome|Stratos]] and the 60s version of the [[The Big Guy|Opel Kadett]] being the worst offenders - but it's all justified, since those cars ''[[Truth in Television|really were that hard to control]]''. Generally speaking, the most stable to drive RWD cars are probably the {{spoiler|Alfa Romeo Giullia and the Ford Cortina}}.
