Believe it or not, a safari 911 has appeared in a rally game! EA's SHOX featured this and multiple other Porsches.May just pick up WRC 7! Can't say I can think of any other rally game having a Porsche in it before. Would love to see some "safari" 911s in rally games too.

It's an arcade title but a nice piece of trivia none the less.
If we keep in that rhythm we will see Porsche in the nwxt GTA too!!!

You must not know much about the sport if you say that.... Porsche have had a long history in rallying with multiple models of car in both works and privateer capacities.
The most successful being the 911 which is an icon in the sport. 911's won the Monte Carlo rally multiple times and the car even won the manufacturers title the year before the championship became the WRC, beating the Renault Alpines to the trophy in 1970.
The car in the video is an R-GT class rally car and fully eligable for the WRC, in fact it's a fan favourite at events because of the sheer noise of it! At a rally you can hear one of those things from miles away, literally!
I for one am pretty happy to see them actually putting in all WRC eligable classes rather than excluding the R-GT's, fingers crossed the new Arbarth makes it in too!!!
