V-Rally 2 traces the rise of a rally driver and their navigator across 84 tracks spanning the globe, with 16 cars to master along the way. The career begins in Arcade Mode, where it's just you and the clock, then escalates through the V-Rally Trophy—European, World, and Expert tiers—before reaching Championship Mode. There, eight competitors race against the clock simultaneously, only the top six earn points, and the driver who accumulates the most across the final round claims the championship.
