WRC 8
It’s been a two year wait for WRC 7’s successor but it’s finally here and I’m glad to say, overall, it’s been worth the wait. Whilst KT Racing’s franchise has been the officially licensed series, it has been in the shadow of Codemaster’s revitalized Dirt series of games.

Coming out on fresh tyres Mansell set a lap record which was two seconds quicker than Senna and with three laps to go was right behind the Brazilian. However, despit...[Read More]
