# reRBR: reimplementing Richard Burns Rally 1.02

> reRBR reimplements Richard Burns Rally 1.02 for Linux, macOS and Windows, using the player's game files and NGP 7.4.778 physics. Its Rust code covers game formats, stages, cars, race flow, damage, saves and rendering; the author reports comparing gameplay behavior with recordings of the original. BTB stage support remains experimental.
