Throughout each year, you’ll compete in training events (time attack style laps around small tracks), historic events, extreme condition events where you’re tasked to complete a section with a broken car or with rough weather conditions, and get to test other car brands. Here you sign up with a rally team from WRC 2, 3 or WRC Junior and take on a calendar of events trying to win the championship and move up through the WRC levels (or at least win enough not to be dropped by the team). You’ll get to take on all of these rallies via WRC 10’s central game play mode, the slightly improved career mode. Despite their cancellation during the action WRC calendar, Chile and Sweden are also included as stages too, like bonus content from last year’s game.

The Belgian and modern day Greek rally are set to join the game as free post launch DLC (although a historic version of the Acropolis rally is included – more on that in a second). The new tarmac-heavy Croatian rally, the tricky Estonian rally and the Spanish rally arrive and offer their own unique challenge. In terms of content, almost all of the 12 stages of the FIA WRC calendar are included here. WRC 10 even includes a female co-driver for the first time and there’s no difference in quality between the two options. It’s certainly a step up from last year’s co-driver. If you end up having to be reset on the track or you incur a penalty, they’ll gee you on get moving again. Take a nasty bump and the co-driver will remark on it.

They now feel much more like a human sitting next to the driver rather than just a satnav that’s reading out turn directions and severity. The co-drivers have had a rework since last years entry too. This is emphasised by the inclusion of optional Shakedown stages, completed before a rally to get a feel for the surfaces, which grant an additional set of tyres for a Rally event. Making sure you manage your tyres through a rally weekend is now much more of a consideration. The turning arc will change for the car as the tyres fall away and if they end up totally going off, you’ll see your speed drift away. It feels like the impact the quality of your tyres has is amplified over last years game. One of the few changes to the racing for WRC 10 is a bigger emphasis on tyre degradation. The moment to moment play has had a few minor tweaks though. That twitchy feeling as you glide across gravel, the plume of dirt that follows the car through the dirt, the screech of the tyres as you attempt to throw it around the corner while on tarmac – KT Racing have once again created a thoroughly thrilling and authentic rally experience. As you might expect from a rally game, WRC 10 is a battle of racer vs road, the challenge being to conquer the twists, turns and frustrating hairpins as fast as possible. Thankfully, the core to the game, the moment to moment racing, remains mostly unchanged from WRC 9.
