Yes, Mr Thunderwing, i was the one who kept asking for that tutorial :)
Not all the tracks work, and the timer isn't calibrated for those that do, but it's awesome to get the content to begin with :)

Ha, my memory's completely shot.

Yeah, it looks 100% faithful to the original 1995 version (haven't actually tried it myself, this is just from what I've seen on YouTube. Mark from Classic Game Room did a video on it ages back). Something I only found out about recently was that M2, the guys who've made all the recent excellent Sega AGES games, were responsible for porting it. Why oh why Sega decided not to bring Sega Rally 2006 (and the bonus disc) to Western regions is a mystery, I mean it's not like Sega Rally was some obscure racing game over here. In another nice little bit of homaging, in the main Sega Rally 2006 game, the Arcade Series 4 rally contains remade courses from the original 1995 Sega Rally. Noice!

IMO, the absolute best version of Sega Rally to play at home is the PS3 version.
It has both the original arcade mode and an HD remake option. The original mode feels more faithful to the original coin-op than any of the other ports and the model 2 emulator (again, just my opinion).
The model 2 emulator may be running the actual arcade rom but the hardware emulation is poor, buggy and glitchy. I'm not sure if anyone is still working on it but it hasn't seen an update in years. I run it on a tri-sync crt arcade in the correct native res and refresh rate and it does not look or play like the real cab.
The PS3 version feels finished. It looks great on both SD CRT and HD flat screens. It's force feedback effects are plug in n play with any PS3 ffb race wheel. The effects are very adjustable to taste. It feels great even with a cheap Logitech wheel off ebay. Plus it has extra tracks and online play which helps as the original arcade wasn't exactly meant to last as a home game.
All of the above applies to the PS3 version of Daytona too.,

What game are you referring to? The only PS3 versions of Sega Rally are Revo and Online Arcade, neither of which handle like the 1995 game or have any option (that I'm aware of) to play an original or HD version of the original game.

It's the one I downloaded from the Sony store a while ago. I'll post some pics tomorrow. It definitely has the original game in there. It's one of the options you can select as well as the HD remake.
I couldn't say it 100% handles exactly like the original cab with my Logitech ffb wheel but I can say it 100% plays better than the model 2 emulator. It looks a lot better too and is far less glitchy.
I like to output it in 480p and use my Ultracade UVC to down-scale it to 384p EGA mode on my crt arcade monitor. It's the closest I've been able to get to an arcade-like experience with the game.
