![]() It’s also more than a little incongruous that it’d be up to the driver to personally manage staff vacation time in the first place. For instance, while my co-driver and I spent several days slicing through Swedish tundra at speeds that would make even the sternest scrotum shrivel, my agent got so burnt out from sipping champagne and eating tiny triangle sandwiches in the hospitality tent that he needed a week off. Granted, it’s a little daft how quickly staff tend to tire considering they’re not the ones doing to the actual driving. Skilled mechanics can accomplish more repairs within the limited window at the service park between stages effective agents can wrangle invites to more exclusive one-off events and canny meteorologists can forecast further into the future, giving you an idea about potential weather changes deeper into stages. ![]() WRC 8's has blossomed into something that feels more representative of a large-scale, globe-trotting motorsport.Specific staff now need to be hired to fill six important roles, each of whom come with gameplay benefits attached to make those decisions feel meaningful. WRC 8’s version has blossomed into something that feels more representative of a large-scale, globe-trotting motorsport, with non-championship events to opt into, training tasks to complete, and team members to contract. There have been some drastic changes to the career mode in WRC 8 as well, and the result is far more engaging than the basic menu cycling from event to event that characterised WRC 7. On a wheel, however, it really starts to sing it’s slippy but responsive as the tyres relentlessly claw at any surface, and the force feedback is impressive and effective. ![]() The AWD WRC cars and their otherworldly acceleration and grip require much more finesse you can pivot them on the throttle but they demand smoother inputs all around. They also need keen tugs of the trigger to brake hard and step the rear out. On a pad, the FWD cars like aggressive taps of the stick for countersteering – anxious drags just induce fishtailing. Whether played with a pad or a wheel, WRC 8 is a satisfying arm wrestle and certainly the best-feeling WRC game I’ve played – and that extends back to Evolution’s memorable stint with the license back in the PS2 era. Finally, it’s positioned to compete with the big names in the genre. Packed with outstanding stage design and bolstered by a number of welcome improvements – including a much richer and more nuanced career mode – WRC 8 is certainly the most in-depth rally sim to ever wear the official license. These tragic events shocked the world and hopefully helped racing become less dangerous for drivers and audiences.Though it’s been through some hard times over the past 19 years, KT Racing’s WRC series has been steadily improving since the French development team’s tenure with the license began in 2015, and WRC 8 represents its biggest leap in quality to date. Unfortunately, to reach today's level of safety, many terrible race car accidents had to happen. ![]() High-speed and risky maneuvers are what make driving so popular to watch. ![]() Senna's deadly race accident changed many of Formula 1's rules and regulations regarding safety. The force of the impact disengaged the front wheel of Senna's car, which hit his helmet, inflicting fatal injuries. Right after another Rubens Barrichello accident and the safety car, Senna was leading when his car went straight off the Tamburello curve and hit the wall at full speed. Senna complained about safety measures at Imola track but to no avail. The tragic death of one of the best Formula 1 drivers of all time ended what's now known as " Black Weekend." A day before Senna's death, Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger lost his life, with Rubens Barrichello surviving one of the worst car crashes in history. The most influential racing accident of all time ![]()
