EA Sports WRC features new car builder and Regularity Rally mode
29.09.2023 - 16:57 / thesixthaxis.com / New
Following on from last week’s authenticity deep dive, Codemasters has released a second trailer detailing the modes and features of the game, including a new car builder and Regularity Rally mode. EA Sports WRC will be released on 3rd November 2023.
Core to EA Sports WRC will be the career mode, in which you can join any team from Junior WRC up through to the main WRC and compete for championships. After picking an initial class, you’ll set up a rally team that includes picking team branding, name, colours, and selecting a Chief Engineer and Benefactor. The Benefactor will provide funding and give goals through the season. You can, of course, play a straight up Championship if you don’t want to fuss with the management.
There’s also some other modes to check out, including Moments, which will give you historic moments from rally championships past, and give you challenges to pull off similar feats, after watching a few snippets of video. There will be new Moments every day, but in a nice twist, you won’t lose access – all of them will remain in the game.
Regularity Rally will put a new twist on proceedings, where you’re not trying to go as fast as possible, but rather to be as punctual as possible. You’ll want to hit checkpoints at set times, with points handed out depending on how far away from those target times you are – you want to finish with the fewest points.
Alongside this is a new car builder mode where you can design and develop a car to compete in the modern era – for WRC, WRC2 and Junior WRC, once again. You’ll have key choices such as the car’s engine layout, which will affect weight balance and driving characteristics, and then where you spend your budget on other mechanical components for quality, durability, tuning and more. All of this is balanced so that the cars you can create are balanced to meet the real car specs, and can be used across Career, Time Trial, Clubs and more.
Heading online and you have quick play multiplayer, returning Clubs for asynchronous multiplayer championships. Alas there’s no realistic multiplayer mode, as there was in Dirt 3, where you have staggered starts, so even in synchronous multiplayer, you’re racing to the clock.
There’s some neat touches in there, and we look forward to getting to try EA Sports WRC out in the not-so-distant future.

EA Sports WRC Combines Codemasters Pedigree with Authentic Rally Racing | Push Square
Codemasters knows rally. It's been making rally racing games since 1998, with the original Colin McRae Rally on PS1 being a hugely formative title for the studio. The series evolved into the DiRT games, which itself branched into two — numbered sequels with a more arcade-like nature, and DiRT Rally, a more serious, simulation take on the motorsport. With 12 games in the bag, its next attempt, EA Sports WRC, is the first to bear the official licence.
