EA Sports WRC: General Discussion

[RYAN]

To be honest I think that's just how CM do it, less overthinking the idea and more how each car is developed. Wouldn't surprise me if there's some licensing stuff involved with what gets developed as well as the time-line.

Speculation of course, seems like the timing is the biggest thing.

The Castrol Yaris would be a very nice thing to see. If Ingram pops up in a WRC2 round again this season with it then who knows.

I doubt it will be included in the game updates as its a BRC/ERC entry. I was referring to livery mods on Overtake/Race Department. They already have a nice version of Ingrams MEM Castrol Polo on there.

If Ingram does enter the WRC in the future all is possible of course. Would love to see a MEM entry into WRC 2. They have toiled for years in the BRC with Meiron, Matt Edwards and Osian Pryce. With the increased Castrol backing let's hope.

Their best chance for a WRC 2 entry would be with Ingram as I think he brings some money himself. With the amount of time he spends in Monte Carlo he should do anyway 😂

CER would suit him down to the ground. Cold, wet countryside tarmac roads. Would love to see it.

Bad news; I think the first DLC pack is Le Maestros, not El Maestros, so I think that a French theme is more likely?

The absence of a Celica from the Group A class has been a flaw with the CM rally games for years. Until the rift with Toyota is healed though, I can't see any historic Toyota getting added to the game. I am thankful that they have at least permitted the current cars.

The Mazda 323 is definitely an oddity... but as discussed earlier in the thread, rally fans always seem to love an underdog! I personally think that most of the "major" classic (i.e. Group A and earlier) cars are covered, but there are still a lot of gaps in the WRCar era. Really hope some of those get filled with the new DLC.

Not a Celica AFAIK, but he did drive a Corolla. View attachment 1390719

In terms of obvious misses, I think you have most of them there. I'd go:
Audi Quattro A2
Evo 3 Grp A
Octavia WRC
Accent WRC
307cc WRC
Impreza WRC2003
DS3 WRC
Polo R WRC

Less obvious ones:
Lancer WRC04
Suzuki SX4 WRC
Fiesta WRC (2012, with the Mini, DS3 and Polo)
Clio Williams
Nissan Sunny GTI-R
Mazda 323
Nissan Almera F2
Citroen Xsara F2

If the first pack is a Loeb/Ogier pack, perhaps we'll get:
DS3
Polo R
C3 WRC
Fabia S2000
1st gen Saxo Kit Car
Liveries for Xsara, C4, Fiesta (2017)

Le maestro means French.. to me there's one French car missing thats essential and was also in Dirt Rally 2.0 so would be quicker to port over ?...

DS Automobiles DS 21

“The DS 21 is a rally icon, and is still used in amateur rallies to this day. This car features hydropneumatic suspension, a unique system which is especially noticeable in the corners. Achieving success in the mid to late 1960s, this car was rugged and reliable.”— In-game info, DiRT Rally 2.0...
