EA Sports WRC: General Discussion

[MagpieRacer]

Yeah, that's a Audi Sport quattro S1. Best looking of all of them in my eyes...

...but it did start with the Group 4 UR quattro and that is the Audi I respect the most.

Definitely would be cool to see but, if they did, where would you want it? The original Group 4 car hasn't got a class to fit into at all and an A1 or A2 would be outclassed by everything else in the Group B 4WD category. Still, that said, some of the cars in other classes aren't competitive, but they are still fun to drive.

As long as they implanted car filtering and multi class at last then it could go in with the Stratos and Renault 5, whatever that class is, Opel Manta etc.

I would like to see one of Mäkinen's first Evos and especially any Celica, but knowing the relationships between EA/Codemasters and Toyota I find it difficult to happen.

In a more fun way, this little thing added to the game it would be awesome.

British Leylands finest the Austin/MG Maestro!

My nan used to have one of those, it had really comfy seats, that might come in handy for the more bumpy rallies 😅

And with the onboard voice synthesizer on some models, you could give your co-driver the day off!

Actually saw a Maestro being using for rallycross last month...

No update to career mode is a huge letdown, it needs a refresh in several elements. 2 rallies and new liveries after 1 one year is really the bare minimum, probably they reduced staffing so much we won’t get any major update.

We'll find out in the next few weeks what else is lined up for the expansion update. Only the content has been announced so far.

That's a shame, Sorry to hear that. It would have been nice if you could have got it sorted in Time for DLC and updates to come in October. Or maybe there may be some fixes in there there could possibly help. Let's hope. 🤞

Oh my, I think I've fixed it!! I kept reading about the game needing to be on the same drive/partition as Steam (maybe so it's in the same place as the anti-cheat install?), which I didn't think would work for me as I only have a small 256gb SSD as my C: drive for windows and have larger drives for game installs. With a bit of messing about this morning I managed to clear enough space to move the game over to my C: drive and, touch wood, everything seems to be ok now!

I've been able to start the game a couple of times in VR without it crashing my VR software and I'm able to use custom liveries again. Very happy and I can't wait for the DLC now 🔥

Thats great, Glad to hear you've sorted it. If you want something to help pass the time before the DLC there's a short GTP S2000 club championship going on that ends just before the '24 update. 👍

There is indeed and I'm currently sitting in first place in Greece 😉

I don't think I've ever needed to use the clutch as much in a car with sequential gears before! Those hairpins are murderous.
