I nominate Xpand Rally. No licensed cars or locations, small dev team, no franchise or sequels, actually great game. Totally forgotten.

There is one, Xpand Rally Xtreme. You can get both really cheap on Steam, less than a dollar each. Also, only racing game that I know that you can die and you must reset your career if your don't restart the race.

I will nominate Dakar 18 and Dakar Desert Rally. Only two games that I know that do Rally Raid right, very long stages that you must navigate with the roadblock and compass, instead of following waypoints on the GPS or just following your copilot traditional pacenotes as a traditional WRC/Colin McRae game.

What do you mean by random in this context?

A classic - Dakar 2 for the PS2! Surprisingly long and complex stages for the time, a large selection of biomes and vehicles, and you could even encounter vehicles from other classes during the stages. Loved that game when I was a kid!

I love a random PS2 game

Thankfully there are ways to play it on PC these days...
