A retro rival rally game with ticks in all the right boxes - except availability

I was going to post this to arcaderacers but it doesn't appear to have been migrated from lemm.ee.

Maybe we could treat the appearances of recognizable, non-living entities in games (cars, buildings, airplanes, etc.) the same way we treat musical scores; the producer would be legally obligated to pay some reasonable, small, fixed fee per use to the original creator, and that creator wouldn't be allowed to object. And this wouldn't entitle the producer to use any trademarked brand or model name, just the form.
