When ''[[V-Rally (video game)|V-Rally]]'' was released in 1997, it was developed by [[Infogrames Multimedia]] and had no connection with the ''Need for Speed'' games. Electronic Arts acquired the rights to publish the PlayStation version of the game in the United States in order to help sales of the game, due to the fact that [[Rallying|rally racing]] held little support in the U.S. The game was not originally intended to be part of the ''Need for Speed'' series; neither the game's development was done by [[EA Canada|Electronic Arts Canada]] (which at the time was the primary developer of the ''Need for Speed'' series), nor was it developed in as association with Electronic Arts in any way. Later versions of the game were solely published by [[Infogrames]] and were released under their original names.
