EA Sports WRC Full Car List: All Vehicles From WRC To Builder Cars

At last the Hillman Avenger - a classic rally and touring car legend long ignored. Hopefully Robin Eyre-Maunsell in a Chrysler Dealer Team Ulster liver, the British Group 1 Rally Championship winner in 1975 and 1976. .

For anyone wondering about the stage list, this is very likely it, including the bonus stages.

• Chile
• Croatia
• Estonia
• Finland
• Greece
• Iberia
• Japan
• Kenya
• Mediterraneo
• Mexico
• Monte Carlo
• Oceania
• Pacifico
• Portugal
• Sardinia
• Scandia
• Sweden

I heard that it's going to be a closed platform just like dirt 5's rubbish, so not even a car skin is going to go in there, does anyone know anything about that?

Denuvo anti-tamper, therefore this is correct. Yes, despite repeated evidence that excessive DRM has no noticeable impact on game sales, the headasses at these AAA companies still think combating people who weren't going to buy the game anyway at the expense of paying customers is a good idea.

Some cool places on my bucket list to visit for sure, Mediterraneo has to be up there...

But in all seriousness, I'm thinking Oceania is Australia without licensing and not Water World, and maybe Pacifico is America?

Missing the Toyotas like everyone else, but with the rest of the car list pretty full, I can live with it.

Also a Volvo Amazon/240/740/940 would be a dream come true. Not seen that since the days of Rally Tropyhy. Or RBR mods.

Beyond that, proper triple screen, FOV and camera adjustments will probably be missing like always.

Some other site says that these 78 cars are making their way in to the game PLUS 68 different historical vehicles. Now where this info came from? And if that is true, there still might be hope (Yes, Toyota's for example) But not holding my breath

I expect DLC, given how much there was for DiRT Rally 2.0

No Trabant, no buy

Kidding – this looks excellent. Now to see how the rest of the game (stages, game modes, physics) holds up on release.

Super car list overall, I'm glad to see RX go and the focus be upon proper rally. Yes, Toyota and Codemasters have some weird beef that reflects really badly on Toyota IMO, seeing as they are just harming fans of rally and their cars by not playing ball.

Everyone will have their own "it would be perfect with X" opinion (Fabia S2000, Datsun 160J and a 70s Porsche for me) but hats off for such a huge list, not just focused on the big names but also a lot of starter cars of all sorts of shape and size.

My bigger beef is with some of the class structures:
- H3 with a Stratos (should be H2) and BMW M3/Sierra (should be Group A)
- 1997-2011 is too big a group, it should be split into at least two but ideally a 97-05 and 06-10 section, with a 11-16 class if licencing would allow
- Nova added with the 2x 60s cars is another; basically I don't like the 'by performance' instead of 'by year' choice.


Still though, so much to be grateful for, especially the expanded late 70s H2 RWD class, the S2000 addition, the full set of Rally2 cars (plus two R5s) and the continuation of the excellent Group B lineup.

We all know that the 200 "individual" stages will be "one long stage per location", which is then cut up into 2 shorter ones, which are in turn mirrored and then reversed, and that counts as 9 stages per location. We've all been there too many times to have any reason to think otherwise.

Oh, it is exactly this but the '600km+' part is accurate and that's mind-blowing compared to the Dirt and Kyloten games. Average of 35km per location for 18 completely different rallies is huge.

Rumours on Discord (take this with a pinch of salt, definitely not confirmed):

- Mediterraneo = Corsica (long odds Cyprus)
- Iberia = Spain
- Pacifico = maybe Indonesia or New Zealand
- Oceania = Australia or New Zealand
- Scandia = Norway

As someone who's a big fan of tarmac rallying, having Catalunya and Corsica would be great news for me, WRC for real is neglecting tarmac too much in summer.

Locations list looks collosal; only slight sadness is that the wait for Ypres to be done properly goes on...

Looks interesting. I'm assuming it'll be more of a main series Dirt game rather than Dirt Rally, so I might have to get in on Xbox for the gamepad, rather than the PC with the steering wheel and the triples.

Might want to rethink your choice of platform/peripheral. This game is aiming to improve on 2.0.

Yeah, it's definitely based on Dirt Rally not the main Dirt one. This team weren't involved in Dirt 5, it's the DR2 team working on a simulation brief, as far as I understand.

Yes, sadly. But then again, let's be realistic. Creating that many stages for different locations, and keeping them fun to drive is a huge ask, from any developer. It takes hundreds of hours to model and build those roads, and then fine tune the jumps and cuts to make it fun and rewarding takes another couple hundred. Even though they had 3+ years in development, I don't think it will live up to some people's expectations. Kylotonn's WRC games only had 1 long stage per location, divided up to pieces, and ran in both directions to have 5-6 stages per location. DR had two long stages and half the locations. I expect the same here. It's actually an interesting topic. What would be the better option to make long stages for this many locations in a rally game? Hand craft one or two routes so that's fun to drive in all of it's 20-25 km lenght, or create a large open-world map, say 40 km2, and draw in the routes there randomly so you have tons of roads to drive on, but won't have time to refine it on the smaller scale, so half of them would feel dull. And no, as much as I would like it, strapping a laser-scanner on a car and driving every rally stage in the calendar is sadly not an option.

Some time ago in the game Rally Championship and International Rally... there were many stages (even fictional ones), we could drive in reverse mode and in a mirror image of the route, it would be a good way to add more diversity to the routes (even artificially).

No British Rally? For many years it was the decisive stage of the championship (usually the last). If we try to recreate most of the World WRC seasons since 1973 (the list of cars is excellent, as are the Rallys mentioned), but the British Rally and the Toyota Celica and Corolla would be essential. I think we will have a pleasant surprise in a future DLC.

I am satisfied with the list presented.
A few months after the release of Dirt Rally 2.0 (years ago), I adapted a list of cars that could be present in a future game (that covered the history of the WRC), similar to what was done in WRC 10, including some cars from pre-world championship of 1973, so that we could recreate all seasons less partially.
I think we came very close to that.

Who knows, in a DLC, we will at least be treated to
Toyotas (Carlos Sainz's Celica ST165 1990, Celica Turbo 4WD, 16 victories between 1992/1994), Toyota Corolla WRC (1999 Constructors' Champion),

Audi Quattro 1981/1982 (10 victories), Audi Quattro A2 1983/1984 (9 victories) and also with the British Rally.

are you the only person in the world who loves ea and codemasters. i don't judge but it's a bit funny because ea is a money sink

EA is the best publisher, and Codemasters are the best developpers, particulary about F1 and of course rally, I love so much the Codemasters game with EA, F1 2023 is a massive success

I believe in Codemasters ability to make a great racing game, but not EA's ability to publish it without dropping the bag somehow. They already have in regards to DRM: Codies never used to swear by Denuvo until EA started getting into their ear leading up to the purchase.

I wish I could say that I am hopefull, but it's Codemasters and we all knows what that means!

First, there's the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus, I like this car.
Second and most important, there's the Peugeot 309, I will finally be able to drive my car in a rally game without crashing it in real.

It's EA but ****, I'll probably buy it

Not really the "deep dive" it's advertised as but there's a decent amount of new information in yesterdays video;


Need to circumvent the crappy DRM practices by buying this on PS5 aside, I'm really liking what is being presented and/or promised to us so far. It still looks Dirt Rally 2.0 esque but with more content at launch than 2.0's GOTY had, plus the promise of a better career mode, plus an engine change which allows for epic length stages instead of being limited to running one half of Turini or Ouninpohja at a time.
