The mod that you thought would never come out, Quake3 Rally, has been released. They had an official page that you might be able to get to one day, but currently it's totally swamped. Luckily I grabbed the file for mirror here on Fileshack courtesy of Speakeasy for you guys. Here's the feature list straight from Richard:

- 6 maps
- 7 cars
- all new menus. all new physics. all new models. new powerups. fancy shmancy client side prediction all updated to handle models with wheels and not legs (that's why this thing took so long, our models don't have legs!)
- full online play, deathmatch, racing deathmatch, straight racing, demolition derby, capture the flag.
- although maps aren't necessarily tweaked for all gametypes.
- cars ffs! ;)

Everyone be nice and thank the Q3Rally guys for all their hard work, free stuff!

- follow enemy now works correctly with the /follow command
