Almost a year on from its release, EA Sports WRC is set to get its first expansion of three planned. Arriving on 8 October, content from the 2024 season will be available for the game – bringing with it up-to-date cars.
That’ll see this year’s versions of the top-class Rally1 Hybrid cars come to the game, plus the new-for-2024 Rally2 Toyota GR Yaris in the second tier. Junior WRC will be supplemented with the updated Ford Fiesta Rally3 Evo. Better still, those will all come on top of the existing 2023 content rather than replacing it.
2024 Rally1 Hybrids are inbound
Despite being an official, current WRC title, Codemasters hasn’t just left the car list at current stuff – including a whole host of cars from pretty much every era of rallying. One of the modern highlights has to be the 2017 Volkswagen Polo WRC, which never competed in an official rally – allowing you to give it its competitive debut.
You’re able to recreate the Subaru vs Mitsubishi rivalry of the late ‘90s and early ‘00s, with a selection of Imprezas and a Lancer Evolution VI – complete in the iconic Makkinen Marlboro livery – being part of a chunky roster of World Rally Cars from 1997 through to 2011.
Group A is represented by favourites like the Lancia Delta HF Integrale and the Ford Escort RS Cosworth.
Group B monsters feature, and there are enough to split them into 4WD and RWD categories. The former includes the Audi Sport Quattro S1 and Ford RS200, with highlights of the latter being a Lancia 037 Evo 2 and even a rally-spec BMW M1 Procar.
The MG Metro 6R4 is a staple of Codies’ rally games.
For those after a historic rally experience, you’re able to drive the likes of the original Mini Cooper S a Lancia Fulvia, and even a Hillman Avenger.
If, somehow, none of the cars in the game take your fancy, you can try your hand at making your own thanks to the Car Builder career mode. Plus, we’re expecting more cars to come with the ‘Le Maestros’ and ‘Hard Charger’ packs coming this winter and next spring respectively.
