The Championship mode sees you taking control of Colin McRae through a 3 year contract with the Ford Rallye Sport Team, rally fans will have probably noticed than Colin McRae no longer drives for Ford but unfortunately the game hasn't been updated. In the Championship you can tweak and tinker with just about every aspect of your car to get the maximum performance out of it, you can also view the telemetry data from the test runs to see what effect your tweaking is having on the car.
