You want a rally game for a Windows PC that costs nothing and runs offline from a plain installer. Stunt Rally fits that. It is a 3D racing game with rally-style driving, mostly on gravel.
Who a gravel-focused racer suits
Stunt Rally suits players who like car games with loose surfaces and do not need a commercial licence line-up. It is listed under sports games, and its tags point to 3D, car and GUI.
The developer publishes the code on GitHub under the GPL-3.0 license, so tinkerers can read it.

Install notes and full documentation are on the project page.
