WRC 10 represents perhaps the biggest challenge in racing gaming. The difficulty of rallying is well documented, and trying to fly through the trees of Sweden or narrow roads of Japan in a game is as tough a test as it gets.
Well, now an update has hit WRC 10 which means you can take on that monumental task with friends! Let's see what the January update has to offer.
Teams Online
This new mode is one in which you can compete against other teams of drives on special challenges each week.
With good performance and consistency your team can win events and climb the global leaderboards. Only a certain number of players (defined in the event) will have their points count toward the team's score, so a rough outing won't be too detrimental to your squad.
Online Multiplayer Championship Mode
This mouthful of a title is basically another way of saying that WRC esports is back!
Running from January to August, the championship is open to ALL players owning a copy of WRC 10. Even if you aren't likely to be the quickest out there, it will still represent a great test of your skill and an opportunity to prove to friends just how good you are!
The first rally starts on Friday 14 January and is the treacherous Rally Monte-Carlo.
