is often the most played, of all the WRC game modes, and the development guys
and gals wanted to make sure that they designed content that the fans wanted.

a professional rally car driver. You need to progress as you race through the
various WRC seasons to ultimately become the world champion. You need to
progress in three different areas.
Plan
your time effectively. What events do you do between rallies? Do you train,
perform manufacturer challenges, compete in classic events or simply put your
feet up and relax?
Manage
your crew that comprises of 6 different and related jobs. You’ll need to think
about each role individually, consider your unique characteristics and use them
well.
Research
and develop upgrades for your team, using R&D and their own skill trees,
that evolve based on your choices. Every decision you make can impact your
teams progression, and their morale.
Your rally’s
stats available at the end of each race, will give you all the information you
need to compare against your competitors and adjust your tactics, in order to climb
the rankings, upgrade your car and recruit the right people.
