The cabinet only had a single pedal, the accelerator, but frankly that's all that was required to initiate the biggest slides this side of a Floridian water park. When everything else in the bowling alley was pumping out bleeps and bloops, this was a pretty big deal. World Rally also had some fantastically throaty digitised audio samples for the engine and when you dropped your pound coin into the machine you were treated to exactly the same start-up sound that Carlos Sainz Snr would have heard at the start of a day at the office. Or at least photos of a scale model of a Toyota Celica GT-Four, it's difficult to tell at this resolution.
World Rally opted for a top-down view but benefited massively from a main sprite that was digitised directly from photos of a Toyota Celica GT-Four. Before Sega Rally came along, this was as realistic as arcade rally games got.
