Wondering about Rally titles?

[Vaughn Stegeman]

Heya!
In the absence of a 'General' games forum, I post this here in the forum I most frequent. =D
I've been thinking about picking up a (one) rally game. Been playing some Gran Turismo 4 recently, doing some of the rally stuff. It's fun, but GT4's rally game is quite lacking LOL
SO! I'm curious about recommendeds for a rally game as one single purchase? Most important characteristics for me are realistic driving model, good FFB, wide selection of vehicles and tracks, SP Career and MP online play, mod-able, nice graphics .... I'm not really sure how Rally races operate IRL, but I'd really like there to be some actual racing with other vehicles, so it'd be nice if there could be larger grids.
I think that about covers it. All advice appreciated! \o/
