- Inside the files, there is an unfinished livery for the Ford Focus, this is either the cut livery of an alternate Ford Focus livery or an early version of the main Ford Focus livery entirely
- Within the same folder there is also an unused texture for drivers who have the "Toyota" logo on their shirt. This suggests that at some point the Toyota Celica ST-185 was intended to be playable, but was cut similar to the 6R4 and the Cooper
- An unused value is present on most stages in the bottom left of the screen. It's likely that this is a scrapped feature which counts how many miles you've travelled on the stage, an idea that would be revisited and implemented into Colin McRae: Dirt
- You can access two part tests straight from the menu, a feature that would be entirely removed from the final version
- The menu sounds are different from the final game
- The pause menu is transparent rather than being fully visible
- Some cars have unfinished physics ported over from Colin McRae Rally 3
- The Audi Quattro and the Lancia Delta's engine audio are both unfinished, So they reuse the Subaru Impreza's engine sounds
- The UI for the timer and splits is thinner
- The timer is completely broken. Sometimes reversing, sometimes stopping, sometimes flashing green in the middle of the race, etc
- The USA Special Stage is unfinished, not having most of the detail and having more spaces to clip out of bounds
- Losing all engine power is far easier in this version
- The UI disappears when finishing a race
- An unfinished file in the temp folder called "MUSIC_ogg" only exists in this version. It sounds like a psychedelic but overall funky tune that doesn't fit the game whatsoever.
