Having a sound knowledge about the weather of your next rally will ensure that you are going in with the best tires. Your team will get exhausted during rallies and it is the job of the physical therapist to ensure that they remain on top of their game.Ĭoming to the mechanic, hiring a better mechanic will ensure that all your repairs are made in the shortest time possible during rallies. The agent will ensure that you keep getting rare events while playing the rally. You can always choose the best ones for each position but remember that the better ones cost more and you have to pay your whole staff at the end of the day. You have an agent, a mechanic, a physical therapist, a financial director, engineer, and meteorologist. Your crew is made up of 6 people each belonging to a specific department. With the new mechanics in place, you now have the complete freedom to hire, switch and fire different team members in your crew. Your crew now plays an important part in your rally career more than ever. Winning in these events will also help in keeping your team Morale high and will help you build good terms with manufacturers from around the world. They also serve a very good distraction from the mainstream racing because, after a hectic rally at Sardegna, everyone would like to have a few days to themselves. These events will even let you win some cash on the side note along with trying out different unique rally cars which are not related to your main chosen rally discipline at all. Events include training sessions, Historical Rallies, Extreme Condition events, and even Manufacture Tryouts. You can assign different activities for each day until the main rally event arrives. Since not all days are event days, you will find plenty of empty slots in your calendar but they don’t have to be empty. The trusty calendar informs you of all the upcoming championship events. There are tons of things for you to manage on your Career screen now. You do really feel like you are part of a crew now instead of just a virtual avatar guiding you here and there. All this gives excellent control over different aspects of your rally team and your Career Mode. For me, this was a brilliant change and this is not just a visual overhaul as well. Gone are the boring screens, replaced by an in-view of your Rally HQ where you will find different departments working in harmony so that your next rally is perfect.Īs you move around the options on your left side, the right side of the screen moves to the relevant department showing people making important decisions and working as they should in a good environment. The UI and how everything plays out in the mode really puts you in the mood to keep playing the game. KT Racing has completely revamped the Career Mode for WRC 8 and it is now brilliant. Moving on, I jumped directly in the brand new Career Mode of WRC 8 and this is where the magic started to happen. I did give it a few tries though but still, the lack of Pace Notes in the tutorial rally was a bummer. With that said, I never could complete the tutorial because it did not come with Pace Notes for some weird reason and I was not able to anticipate anything coming up ahead and kept wrecking the car beyond repair. This is basically an initial test of your driving skills based on which the game gives you a difficult setting suggestion. Traditionally, right after booting up WRC 8, you are put in the driving seat of a rally car on a rally stage which serves as a tutorial as well. Is WRC 8 really the best WRC to date? We find out in this review of WRC 8. I was looking forward to WRC 8 for a long time because I really wanted to try out the new terrain and car handling physics that KT Racing developed alongside Citroen Racing Engineers and rally drivers. WRC 8 is developed by KT Racing and published by Bigben. After taking a break, WRC franchise is back with WRC 8 bringing us the official WRC experience with it.
