''Sega Rally Championship 1995'' is a 1995 Arcade Racing Game developed by Sega AM3 (later renamed Hitmaker ) on the Sega Model 2 board. It was later ported over to the Sega Saturn and PC ranges.

The Unique Selling Point of ''Sega Rally'' was the ability to Drive on different Surface s (including Asphalt , Gravel and Mud ), with different Friction properties, with the Car 's handling changing accordingly.

Another interesting feature is that the player can enter a "World Championship" mode consisting of three Stage s ( Desert , Forest and Mountain ) where their finishing position at the end of one course is carried through to the starting position of the next course. In this mode, it is impossible to reach first place position by the end of the first track, thus the player must try to overtake as many opponent cars as possible on each track (while staying within the time limit), and gain the lead over several tracks. If, at the end of the third round, the player is in first place, they are able to play a fourth secret circuit called "Lakeside" (on the Saturn version, this course may then be played in Time Attack and Split-screen Multiplayer modes).

Three cars are featured in the game: the Toyota Celica GT-Four, the Lancia Delta HF Integrale and Lancia Stratos . The Stratos is only unlocked if the extra Lakeside track is completed in first place; then it may be used in any of the game's modes (championship, Time Attack and Split-screen Multiplayer ).
Codemasters have cited ''Sega Rally'' as a strong influence on the first '' Colin McRae Rally '' game.
