![]() The turning arc will change for the car as the tyres fall away and if they end up totally going off, you’ll see your speed drift away. ![]() It feels like the impact the quality of your tyres has is amplified over last years game. One of the few changes to the racing for WRC 10 is a bigger emphasis on tyre degradation. The moment to moment play has had a few minor tweaks though. That twitchy feeling as you glide across gravel, the plume of dirt that follows the car through the dirt, the screech of the tyres as you attempt to throw it around the corner while on tarmac – KT Racing have once again created a thoroughly thrilling and authentic rally experience. As you might expect from a rally game, WRC 10 is a battle of racer vs road, the challenge being to conquer the twists, turns and frustrating hairpins as fast as possible. Thankfully, the core to the game, the moment to moment racing, remains mostly unchanged from WRC 9. A new mode and a few refinements to returning content are among the few changes for this year’s iteration – but that does mean that those few visual flaws with WRC 9 return here too and, in some instances, feel magnified. For WRC 10, the penultimate instalment before the licence is handed to Codemasters, the developers KT Racing have adopted the “If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it” approach. It felt like the series had finally managed to balance the speed and torque on a knife edge, nailed down the feeling of the different road surfaces and bundled it up with a decent selection of game modes. I’m certainly not alone in that estimation which is evidenced in the fact that it received the best Metacritic scores in the series’ history. The Finger Guns Review.įor me, WRC 9 was the pinnacle of this series to date. Many led to the introduction of new rules and regulations meant to keep drivers and fans safe, while others are simply remembered because they took the life of a well-liked or promising driver.Further refining last year’s annual entry, WRC 10 is another top class racing game.

As you’ll see, no one sport holds the monopoly for crashes as these tragedies strike as easily on the Formula 1 tracks as they do on the gravel and snow of the Rally circuits. The following list looks at 15 of the worst crashes in auto racing history. When they do happen, crashes remind us that motorsports are exciting but extremely dangerous. ![]() That’s not to say fans love a crash – most cringe and worry at the sight of one – but they do provide a mix of the spectacular with the tragic and unexpected. Of course, what also attracts much attention to this high-speed sport are the crashes. Drivers overtaking one another, cars breaking down, underdogs coming from behind to snatch a victory – these are all crowd pleasers. What draws spectators to the race day itself is the competition and excitement occurring on the track. In between there is everything from the Japanese Super GT series (formerly known as the JGTC) to the World Rally Championship (WRC) introducing us to a variety of new tracks, cars, drivers and challenges. Formula 1 is the most popular worldwide motorsport and in North America, the king remains NASCAR. ![]() We love the cars, the sounds they make, the drivers who fearlessly pilot them and all the drama that seems to unfold during and after every battle on the track. Almost every weekend somewhere you can find a competition that pits a field of racers against one another. Over 100 years later, motorsports – or auto racing – is one of the most exciting spectator sports around. At the turn of the 20 th century we replaced horses with internal combustion motors and brought competitive racing to a new level. We have always loved the sport of racing, whether it be directly competing or merely watching. ![]()
