Sega Rally 3 is the arcade sequel to Sega Rally 2 developed and released by Sega in 2008. Unlike most other installments in the series this was not released in Japan. Home version was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2011 as Sega Rally Online Arcade. Sega Rally 3 contains three racing modes: World Championship Quick Race and Classic. World Championship mode is a single player game which takes place across three stages (Tropical Canyon and Alpine) and largely follows the format of the previous Sega Rally arcade games. The game is a 22 car race played to a time limit and the player's starting position for one race is determined by their finishing position in the previous race. Unlike the previous games in the series each race contains two laps. If the player finishes the third stage in first place they are able to play a head-to-head race on the bonus Lakeside track.
