Their fatigue will wear them down and eventually, they’ll have to take a break for a bit. Without them, you’ll go in blind and will wind up underperforming. They help point out the weather conditions when it comes to how you should adjust your car before the event. One of the most important members other than the mechanics is the meteorologists. Each one has a major job in making you, your car, and the rest of the team moving like a well-oiled machine. You’ll also be in charge of managing crucial members of your team. It’s things like this that make the experiences in this game so unique to it. I had to pull myself out of the event and take the loss.

Eventually, I realized that my headlights had been completely busted out. I thought it was a glitch at first and tried restarting the race over and over.

I hadn’t been able to see the track ahead of me and my only guide was the pace notes from my co-driver. The next race was set at night in a pitch-black forest. There was a rally where I didn’t have enough time to correctly repair my car and it cost me dearly. During this break, you’ll have a limited amount of time to make preparations and repairs to your vehicle before the last 50% of the rally.ĭoing this properly couldn't be stressed enough. You’ll get 4 races in total with a break after the first set of them. The rallies are the bread and butter of the career aspect and take a lot of patience and due diligence from you. You can enter in rallies, historic races, hazardous races, training, resting your team, and so on. The schedule is broken into a season with each activity you choose to take place in a week’s time slot. I would just trust that my co-driver had me covered when I heard them say them.Įvents in career mode vary depending on the week. But as I played I became so familiar with the callouts that I didn’t even need to look at the top of the screen to see the notes. Aside from the obvious ones like left and right directions of course. At first, it was confusing figuring out what their callouts meant. Being that there’s no map like in other racing games, you’re really depending on your co-driver to deliver the best directions possible. It seemed interesting to me that racers have a co-drivers in the car with them calling out pace notes. My knowledge of what rallying is was scarce before my time with the game. If you mess up in this game, you might as well start the event over. It isn’t a Need For Speed game in the fact that if you miss a turn you can still come back. The game is really harsh from the beginning with no signs of letting up on you.

Crashing and bashing into obstacles won’t just damage the cosmetic aspects of your racer but the internals necessary to getting through each course and avoiding a DNF (did not finish). Cars are weighty to give you some challenge in perfecting your control over each vehicle you get behind the wheel of. This is a title that has been meticulously created to bring you a true rally simulation.

WRC 9 is a racing sim with an extraordinary amount of depth within it. It does a fantastic job of having help options on the screen at all times too.
#Wrc 10 gamestop series
Like I said above, I wasn’t much a fan of the series due to my rough time with the 6th entry’s lack of help given to the player. I appreciated this being implemented in the game from the start. From there, you’re able to adjust the difficulty and begin your racing career. The game starts by having you run a couple of tests to see how you handle the game’s mechanics.
