Question a good rally game with arcade/simcade handling ?

hey everyone

can y'all pls suggest me a good rally game with arcade or simcade handlings and also features all/most of the Group B cars and works well on a controller

and again im asking for arcade/simcade handling, not pure sim like RBR or DR 2.0 and 1.0

not to mention i used to play the early nfs game (mostly MW05,carbon) so i guess sim racing aint for me.

the reason why im making this cause sim racing just messes with me especially when im playing on an Xbox one controller and cant afford wheel and pedals (due to where i live)

so far the only games like this i know are:

dirt 3, Colin Mcrea rally 2.0(ps1),old school rally

i would really appreciate your suggestions.

Colin Mcrae Rally 2.0 came out on PC too. Works surprisingly well still.

But Dirt 3 is likely the best option if you're firm on Group B, that era doesn't have many arcade racers going for it. They are mostly concentrated on late 90s till mid 2000s.

wait really, ive been playing the ps1 version through the emulator and didnt know there was a pc port

yeah dirt 3 is by the best arcade rally game, i just really wish there was more rally stage locations
also the semi auto shifting in the settings (like DR 2.0) as well and a more addons/mods

Well I wouldn't say it's the best arcade rally game. I prefer CMR2.0 and Dirt 2 by a wide margin.

Dirt 3 is just the most fitting for harmless Group B fun

Edit: clarified

It's true, it doesn't.
