Unfortunately, unless you pre-ordered the game or are willing to fork out for them, the Subaru Impreza WRC and Mitsubishi Lancer Evo V aren’t on the roster. You’ll run through notable moments from the infamous Group B category, Group A, and into the 2000s, driving some of the motorsport’s most recognisable vehicles: Lancia Stratos, Audi quattro Sport, Lancia Delta Integrale, Toyota Celica - the list goes on. It includes a number of milestone events, starting with 1973’s Acropolis Rally and Alpine’s first ever win in the A110 Berlinette. Yes, the headline addition in this year’s game is a celebration of the motorsport’s five-decade history.

Going from Junior WRC’s entry level, front-wheel drive cars to the four-wheel drive vehicles of WRC3 and beyond is a noticeable jump - each class feels different, especially when you consider the classic cars found in the title’s 50th Anniversary mode. What’s nice is that you really do feel a difference between categories. Ultimately, throwing these cars around feels great, especially with the DualSense’s fancy triggers and haptics, once again put to great use here.
