WRC Generations is here, and we're hyped to see all the new teams and drivers! The 2022 season is already underway, so we've known which drivers and teams we can expect to see in Generations for some time now.
Here's the full list of what you can expect when you boot the game up!
WRC Drivers Teams and Drivers
There are a total of three manufacturers in the 2022 WRC season. These are Ford, Hyundai and Toyota. There are a total of 13 driver and co-driver pairs for these outfits, with another four being privateers driving Fords.

Will we see classic drivers?
Historical content is an important part of the WRC video games. Both classic events and cars have been a big attraction in WRC 10, but what about drivers and co-drivers?
There is good news here, as 37 legendary cars "plus additional bonuses" have been confirmed by Nacon. This includes some historical drivers such as Marcus Gronholm similar to what we saw with other games such as MotoGP 22 and F1 2021.
Playing as or against legends like Carlos Sainz, Stig Blomqvist and of course, the great Colin McRae, would be so much fun. It's cool to rally against the cars they drove, but nothing compared to being actual representations of them.
