As an indie project which grew out of the love for the realistic and tricky Richard Burns Rally, gRally has progressed in fits and starts for many years until it appeared on Steam Early Access in 2018. And now to celebrate the second anniversary of that date, gRally Version 1.1.0.0 adds procedural stages and other improvements.
Developed and published by ghiboz (the name of main developer Paolo Ghibaudo and the small team contributing their spare time to the project), there is a fairly length changlog for the update. And shows that the project is continuing to evolve.

Without any official licences, the new Infinity feature for creating rally stages should mean more terrain for you to be able to drive, without as much work for the developers.
And with Unity tools, the aim is to be a modding-orientated rally driving simulator. So you can add your own cars and tracks.
