WRC 8 FIA World Rally Championship
The WRC championship is the most challenging motor racing competition in the world.
With the new dynamic weather system, climatic conditions have true-to-life effects: rain and snowfall is now an important game feature as variable traction, different set-ups for each stage, tyre choice and shrewd use of the weather forecasting team all need to be considered.
The single-player Career mode has been rebuilt from the ground up: calendar management, R&D to improve performance, staff recruitment and management (mechanics, engineers, medical and weather teams, finance manager, etc.).
For multiplayer, weekly challenges and WRC eSports return, but the challenge and competition is now even stiffer.
With 50 teams, 14 rallies and over 100 special stages in the 2019 season, WRC 8 has the deepest content ever included in an off-road racing game.

The game doesn't have the aerodynamics tuning section. I have no idea why it isn't there... my friend has the same game and his has it, other than that I enjoy this game

The AI has improved over the previous WRC titles. I have no longer found tracks where AI (Hard difficulty) is impossible fast or dead slow. Seems they have finally nailed the AI balancing.
Car Handling: Finally bumps matter on the road, so when you hit a bump at a wrong angle you can end in the shadow realm and if you hit it correct way you can take insane amount of speed into a corner and survive.
Overall Def recommended (Tho MP is dead unless you have a friend to play with and Servers are offline)
But for Singleplayer experience its well worth

I am by no means the right person to judge this game's mechanics and realism when it comes to controls, so for the average joe here's my review
Driving's finnicky enough where it feels real
career's questionable since the amount of micro managing required turned me away from it
either than that no real complaints?
cars in each group basically perform the same, extensive tuning settings from suspension to gear length
a good amount of maps with variety.
TLDR
worth the full price? hell no.
worth playing to waste time? hell yes

Big thanks to KT Racing for controller support and especially the ability to play with a split screen. I bought it mainly for this feature. Thanks for adding it!
