The game was based on the same rally (under the earlier sponsors' names) as the later Network Q RAC Rally games, and was the first of a series of related games published by Europress. It was released for the Atari ST,[1] Amiga[2] and MS-DOS[3] formats.
The game prominently features an animated driver, seen from behind moving the steering wheel, with the road seen through the car's windscreen.
The game cover art features Jimmy McRae's Ford Sierra RS Cosworth from 1987.[4]

Lombard RAC Rally's developers (Red Rat Software) also released a superficially similar game called Speed Run for the Atari 8-bit family[5] which featured the same animated driver, but far more simplistic through-the-window graphics and gameplay. (Early adverts for Speed Run also mentioned an Atari ST version,[6] but do not make clear whether that proposed version later evolved into Lombard RAC Rally instead.)
