This is the time of the year where every rally and motorsport news outlet puts out their obligatory ranking of the top drivers in the WRC. In some ways, this seems like a bit of a pointless exercise. That’s why we have a championship table with points… right? However, while the championship points system does...
So far, we’ve looked at the feeling, cars, and stages of WRC6. I dedicated an entire article to each of these topics, because I feel that they make up the bulk of a rally video game. This final piece is going to focus on aspects that are important, but don’t carry quite enough weight to...
In the 3rd piece of this 4 part series covering WRC6, we’re going to take a look at one of the most important aspects of any rally game. As I hinted at the end of part 2, this is one of the things that can “make or break” the experience. What are we talking about?...
In part 1 of my WRC6 review I discussed the “feeling” of WRC6 and whether it captured and portrayed, not just the physics, but also the emotion of rallying. Today I’m going to focus on the cars themselves. I’m going to touch briefly on physics, but since I already covered that in part 1, I’m...
Right when it seemed that the 2017 WRC “silly season” of contract talks, driver movement, and manufacturer press releases was coming to a close and things looked relatively stable, the last 24 hours have rocked not only the WRC, but the motorsport community as a whole. After a meeting today in Wolfsburg, VW made the...
Two weeks ago I wrote a short piece about how utterly underwhelming the 2016 edition of the Tour de Corse turned out to be. Let’s just be frank… as far as articles go, it was a bit crap… no, it was really crap. It wasn’t very hard to read between the lines and see that the...
Over the past few months, I’ve been quietly keeping my eye on WRC6. For awhile, there wasn’t much in the way of preview material that came out, and to be honest, this had me concerned. You might remember that last year I wrote some rather critical comments about Kylotonn Games’ first attempt at a rally...
OK, if you read my piece from yesterday, I gave the WRC Promoter some flack for choosing to focus on a manufactured controversy rather than the real and organic drama of ADAC Rally Deutschland. It may sound a bit harsh, but I’m going to call them out again today for missing a fantastic opportunity to...
