If you’ve played F1 2019, then the development tree will feel very familiar, but despite this obvious comparison, I still found it refreshing, collecting resource points to move either my car or the team forward. I’m happy to report that WRC is back in the form of WRC 8, providing a welcome step forward for the franchise. Having been in the doldrums of well over a decade, even the shift a few years ago to Kylotonn Games hasn’t really improved my opinion and last year there wasn’t even a release, with the team focusing on V-Rally 4 instead. The championship has been in great form in recent years, with multiple drivers all capable of rally wins, but that’s not been matched by the official WRC games. I adore this sport and after a visit to WRC Sweden earlier this year, I am more besotted than ever. This is spectating the WRC and it’s my idea of heaven. I’m so taken aback I lose my footing and stumble onto my backside. As he flies by me at around 100 mph – on sheet ice, I might add – the rear of the car skims the bank I am stood on and flings a cloud of snow into my face. Rapidly approaching, Ott flings the car with little regard for potential consequences at a right-handed kink without lifting off the throttle. Then Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja appear broadside in their Toyota Yaris from a fast left-hand corner 200 yards in front of me.
The buzzing slowly becomes a growl, something is very angry and getting closer. It’s been a two-hour walk through the Swedish wilderness at dawn to arrive here, but where ‘here’ exactly is I’m not too sure. I can just about feel my legs thanks to four layers of clothing.
