Gameplay and Game Modes

WRC 8 lets you play in a variety of game modes, some of which can be played alone, while others focus on competition with other players. The main mode is the career, in which you will be able to not only prove your driving skills on a series of demanding special stages but also to manage your entire crew in detail and carefully prepare for the upcoming events. For example, you can recruit new crew members, like mechanics and agents, in order to enhance certain parameters and increase your chances to succeed in the season. 

They can give you a higher income, faster repair speed, or even improved car’s reliability. On top of that, completing races in career mode rewards you with experience points that increase your driver’s level. New levels unlock new useful skills that can directly improve car’s performance and reliability, but may also affect your team and crew.

Taking dynamic weather conditions into account is an important part of the game, as rain and snow are not only amazingly-looking visual effects. Weather also directly affects the car’s handling, adding another dimension of realism to the game, forcing you to make sure your car is always well prepared for the next rally.

Among other game modes, it’s worth mentioning the online weekly challenge, where all players can participate in a chosen special stage in order to score the best time possible and beat the competition. It’s up to you to choose the best car setup and find the best strategy to overcome the challenge – prove your skills and show the world how it’s done.
