I found all these by typing "special conditions" into the Advanced Search, and restricting the search to Titles Only on the GT4 forum. You could try the same method with "rally".
Hope these help. Welcome to GTP.

The Lancia Delta S4 is the fastest. The Suzuki Escudo would be but it's too crazy and outrageous. My very old thread on my 'Gran Turismo 4 WRC' came out with the Lancia Delta S4 winning and beating the 2nd place Suzuki Escudo by 4 points.

I found the Lancia Delta HF Integrale rally car to be very controllable and fun, w/ enough power to beat all but the fastest cars. So if you're looking to really enjoy the races, I urge you to give a go at the Delta HF, then step up to the S4 if you need it, though I honestly found the regular HF to be more fun...

If you are looking to enjoy the rally races and win through good driving and drifting instead of cheap tactics like wall-riding etc, I suggest the Ford Focus WRC. Its a great car to learn rallying in. I found it to be extremely easy to control while drifting on dirt and fairly decent on snow. It also seems to be better at putting its power down than the other rally cars.
If you dont want to pay the 750 grand for the Focus, you can win the similar Ford Escort WRC on Tahiti Medium. It might even be better than the Focus, I havent done a direct comparison.

Well, currently I've only done the easy rallies, but that's from the lack of a GOOD car to go rallying with. Current fave is an Audi S4 (Older model) built to meet Group A/B regulations. (1270kg min. weight, I'm at 1281, power is 300hp)

A tuned Toyota RSC Rally Car makes a fine rally racer for Special Conditions events, and it is unlocked by finishing first in both Capri Rally races on Easy. However, it is not as simple to drive as a Subaru or a Mitsubishi... though the Capri Rally is a road challenge, so you don't need a rally car beforehand. For that a Honda S500 should fetch you quite a few A-Spec points.

Try using a Skyline.
I'm using my Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 and have managed to complete all the easy and hard S.C. events.
If you are using specifically wanting to use a Rally car, Here are the cars that I have used and would suggest.
'98 Ford Escort
Mit. Tarmac
'99 Subaru Impreza

I drove short tests on the Swiss Alps in Arcade Mode with the Escudo, 205 T16 Evo2 and Impreza Rally Car '03. All with stock power and weight.
The Escudo was totally hopeless, first no power and then no steering, the 205 was more controllable but still flying and sliding all over the place and the Impreza drove like it was on rails. Something about the handling differences tells the fact that the Impreza swept the floor with the others, despite having only a third of the power of the Escudo and being a lot heavier.
In my opinion, the best choice would be Impreza Rally Car '03 for faster rallies and Mitubishi CZ-3 Tarmac for the twisty ones.

I had to make a lot of improvements to my WRX, almost everything. The idea was to make a "real" rally car, so the upgrade was with turbo Lv. 2, Suspension, trasmittion, weight reduction, etc. With this upgrades, I could beat all the cars, except by the Ice Arena races, 'cause it's too small and couldn't find a place to overtake. Had to make wall ride in this one. But I could even beat the S4. They were always behind for a sec. to 8, it was all about the track (always close on Tahiti, always a "landslide" on the Alps)
What I'm saying is that is a big deal to buy the Impreza WRX (the newer, don't remember the complete name, 2003 model I guess...) and then upgrade it. I spent around 150.000 Cr or less. While a rally cars costs, how much, 500.000Cr?
Don't know how do the other Imprezas work, but this one is really great.

Any of the Subarus or the Lancers

that is a great write up Greycap, I find that once you have gotten the feel for rallying, when you switch to a group B car(and can do so without hitting the walls) your times will improve drastically. heres a few times to prove my words:
Swiss alps forwards times (these were all done without hitting any walls):
modified! Audi quatro:1'36.448
Mitsu. Lancer evo 6 rally: 1'34.343
Lancia Delta S4 rally car: 1'31.874
In conclusion, after practicing with gradually quicker cars in time trials, the Faster purpose built group B cars are faster, obviously, but they really don't feel much different than regular cars with dirt tires... the rally technique is more important in GT4. I still wasn't getting everything right with the Lancia, but it was much quicker than the rest.

The Focus was the easiest car for me to win with too. And it's pretty cheap compared to alot of other race cars. One thing wierd about it is how high the ride height is. The car doesn't look like it's any higher than other cars but according to the settings it is. I definitely recommend NOT lowering it! It does much better keeping the ride height way up there.
