I have truly fond memories of spending entire days playing rally games on the original PlayStation, and some later games on PC and Old School Rally really looks the part.
The developer has announced on Steam that "Old School Rally will fully support the Steam Deck right out of the box when the game launches. (Verified status pending Valve review)". Good to see developers continue testing their games on Steam Deck before release instead of after - more of that needs to happen.

I almost thought I was watching a video of Colin McRae Rally for a moment there. I love how indie developers refresh older classics like this that not only look the part, but come with all the niceties you expect from a modern PC release at the same time.
Game Features:
- RETRO STYLE VISUALS - Carefully crafted retro style visuals, reminiscent of the late '90s rally games evoking a sense of nostalgia and charm, making it a must-play for everyone.
- RACE THE WORLD - With a variety of rally tracks from around the globe, race across different surfaces inducing dirt, tarmac and snow and challenge your driving skills.
- RALLY CARS - Choose from a diverse lineup of rally cars inspired by the legends of the past, each with unique characteristics and features.
It enters Early Access on Steam later this year and they think it will take 6-10 months to complete.
Follow it along on the Steam page.

Quoting: dziadulewiczSo this is definitely not for a record breaking young Kalle Rovanpera already a two time World Rally Champion.
He's not racing all of the races this season though - taking a "break". Won the last race in Kenya in a showcase manner tho with a minute gap to the 2nd driver..
For those looking for a more Sega boomer racer vibe: Over Jump Rally.
