WRC 4: FIA World Rally Championship

Back to basics. Leaving behind WRC3's more arcadey features like livery customization and DiRT 2-inspired Road To Glory mode, WRC4 shifts the focus back to real rally.

The new career mode will take players from their Junior WRC wild cards debut to fame, competing in the four official classes in no particular order through sponsor objectives and a simplified reputation system. The physics are refined, the tracks are narrower and thanks to newly-implemented daylight conditions, all 2013 season's 78 events can be experienced at dawn, noon and dusk. And for the first time ever... native Triple Monitor support !
