EA Sports WRC – Season of Moments

With the real-world 2024 season underway, Moments inspired by this season's rallies will be available in-game shortly (around 1-2 weeks) after each event.  To get a taste of what's to come, Season 2 Moments based on January's epic Rallye Monte Carlo are live in-game now, and all Season 2 Moments will move into the Archive tab once Season 3 goes live, where they can be re-played at any time. As for Season 3 Moments, here's a small taste of what's to come:

  • A British Icon (Monte Carlo): At the 1964 Monte Carlo rally, Paddy Hopkirk took a win so iconic it became one of the defining historic moments for the MINI Cooper S as a car, with his win remaining in rally folklore to this day. The MINI Cooper S was unrivaled in these icy conditions.
  • Unlucky Moment (Chile): While on a charge, Teemu Suninen damaged his steering badly, crashing out of this event despite what looked like a promising turn of events for the Finn.
  • The Jack of All Trades (Mexico): The highly sought-after Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 road car was modified for rallying, seeing success early on in its career, as well as in other racing series. In modern times, the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 remains a true classic.
  • A Defiant Monte-Carlo Defence (Monte Carlo): Erik Cais started the final day of the Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo 2022 with a 44.5-second lead, maintaining this lead to win this iconic event.
  • WRC Prototype (Sardinia): The Volkswagen Polo 2017 never made it to international competition but was tested extensively before the project ended. Naturally, this surface type would have been part of this testing program had it continued.
