In the midst of all the high profile racing franchises and genres like kart racing, arcade, SIM and heck, even jet ski racing for consoles and mobile, rally racing has been always been overlooked…

In this world of tweets, statuses, apps, pins, and AMAs, the movie tie-ins are becoming as important as the movies themselves.
