Cars and classes
WRC Experience
WRC Class : Per the calendar, Jordan Rally was removed from the previous game, while Rallye Automobile Monte Carlo was added, thus reducing the number of non-European rallies to three. Rallies range from 22.4 to 41.1 km, while stages range from 1.4 to 7.2 km. The game features a total of 367 km of courses, although in practice each section is driven up to twice in each direction over a full season. For comparison, the real rallies in 2012 range from 303.52 to 502.73 km.
