WRC: FIA World Rally Championship

2.6 Overview

Black Bean's first attempt at a rally game is backed by the weight of the official FIA, who have organised the World Rally Championship in the past. The game features all the drivers and cars from the 2010 WRC season, and in addition a demo was published to the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, around the 22nd of September, 2010. Initially, the game contains three car classes, which are:

• Production World Rally Championship
• Junior World Rally Championship
• Super 2000 World Rally Championship

However, new copies of the game will come with a redeemable code to unlock the Class B cars, made famous in the 1980s by the likes of the Audi Quattro and Ford RS200. The codes will come with both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 versions of the game, and the Class B cars will be included as standard on the Steam version of the game.

Trivia

• Car models cannot be damaged, but they will be covered in dirt during a race.
• This is the first game to be released bearing the WRC branding since 2005.
