It takes roughly 2 minutes to do so, so it’s not a big deal. The second hoop you must jump through is signing up on the FiA Rally star website. I guess they need to fund this programme somehow, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt here. Add to that, I can’t seem to select it in game currently so one can only assume it unlocks after the first challenge is available. I mean, great another car to play with, but if like me, you bought this game for the WRC cars and I can’t really see myself using this car outside of the challenges if i’m honest. It’s £7.99 for me here in the UK, and from what I can see it gives you access to the Fiesta M-Sport 3 car and the Rally Star challenges. Rather than just hoping into the game and jumping into some challenges, you have to buy an “add-on” to the base game. To take part you must jump through a couple of hoops, and i’m still a little unsure why the first hurdle is part of the process, but it’s there, so we have to talk about it.

We have obviously seen drivers move across from esports and simracing to real world racing before, most recently of course with James Baldwin doing a fantastic job in the British GT last year, but forgive me if i’m wrong I don’t recall seeing the leap happen on the rally circuit, but now’s the time. That is quite an incredible prize, if the winner manages to do well in those two seasons, who knows where that could take them in the future.

If you are aged between 17-26 you have the chance to take part in this programme and ultimately win two full seasons as a WRC Junior driver. It’s likely to be the case that with this improved platform to work on the FiA have decided it’s time to see if there are talents out there in the virtual world which could make the leap to the real world environment. Looking good - WRC9 Is a good looking, underrated rally sim (in my opinion) The physics are greatly improved and it looks visually impressive too. If you have played previous WRC 9 titles, forget what you know, this one is different. I must admit, I have had somewhat of a WRC 9 addiction in recent months, I love rally but have always struggled to find a title I really love, and honestly WRC 9 is the first since RBR which I can say I truly love. I thought this was cool and perhaps others might too.
