With Career and Season modes, you’ll have to perform tryouts for either Junior WRC or WRC 2 Privateer. So if managing a team, budgeting, and all of that is of no interest, then this is where you’ll want to spend your time. Season mode brings everything the Career mode offers minus the managerial aspects. It’s an investment that’s worth your time. You’ll spend points earned from experience bars filling up to make more money, unlock crew slots that offer better repairs, and even improve your cars over time. What is the most exciting part of the game is the Research & Development, which is a long-winded version to express that this is your skill tree, as if it were a traditional RPG. Reputations can only be viewed here, but you’ll get a good understanding as to whether in you’re in the good graces or on the naughty list. You’ll manage team members by hiring, firing, and replacing them so the tired ones can rest. There are emails to read, and ones you must respond to, such as paying your crew for their hard work. It’s things like this that make the career and season mode so fun to play.Īs a manager, you’ll have to look at the calendar of events, and choose which events you’ll partake in, or maybe complete a training session, or just rest so you can be optimal for your upcoming championship race. Similarly, the extreme conditions take place in awful weather, and more often than not, gives you a car that’s either heavily damaged or has a mechanical flaw like bad brakes. The legendary events feature a classic rally car that’s on loan to you, like a Lancia Stratos or Ford Escort MKII, which upon completion can earn you extra money. Those other events can be Legendary or Extreme Conditions. As the driver, you’ll have to maintain a healthy relationship with the manufacturer by completing objectives, placing well, and participating in other events. You’ll play two parts, the driver and the manager. And it’s by far it’s the most complete feeling. ![]() ![]() ![]() WRC 8 is what you’ve been waiting for.Ĭareer mode sees the biggest change in its entire history by being completely reworked for this year. The game looks and feels the best it’s ever been, and even though the proper multiplayer is missing after launch, this is a game with tons of solitary and other competitive modes that will keep you plenty distracted. In a single entry, KT Games have completely course-corrected the series with WRC 8. And I’d say the time away has done some real good here. WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship comes after two years after the perfunctory WRC 7, and one year after the disappointing V-Rally 4, giving the WRC series a two-year hiatus.
