Then it's all on R&D, forget performance for now and go first for the xp increase (unlock more R&D points faster) then everything on tyre wear and stability, all the R&D areas state well what they do so you just need to carefully read through them and pick carefully.
WRC 8 TOO UNFORGIVING FULL
Again, soon as you have completed a full season with WRC2 and Pro then get a seat with the Hyundai, get those tests in and make sure you pass them, restart if you need to so you impress them and guarantee that easier car contract. When you go to WRC2 it's 4WD so it's faster but easier to handle so it shouldn't be too bad to jump up from a full season of junior rallying. Start with the slowest junior team, not WRC2, because it's so much slower you'll get to learn stages much easier with less pressure. So that is the car you need to go for in your first WRC career mode. Fiesta is the fastest and best for wheel but it's very tough to handle, the Yaris is good but can still be quite loose and slippy, the i20 is noticeably more stable and much easier to catch or correct, more forgiving. And repeat that favoured stage, don't let mistakes get you down, just keep pushing forward and pick up the pace slowly, getting use to the feel and sway of the car.īy far the easiest for me was picking the car. Once you find a favoured stage then keep at that and start picking up the pace, once you have gained some confidence in the basic feel then switch to an i20 (it's the best career car handler by far, Fiesta is the toughest, very loose car). If this is still too tough then go to any quick rally and use the Pirelli Citroén, it's 4WD and by far the easiest handler of any WRC car in the game! Just practice various stages at a low pace, just get a feel for the bumps and using the handbrake. I'm no Pro but I'm good enough to platinum these games including those defeating AI on the hardest setting trophies, though tbh it was pretty easy at Sweden! That AI is very forgiving! But advice I can give you that helped me was practicing at New Zealand with the Hyundai i20, turn off damage too so you can keep going after a mistake.

And I'm still trying to learn setups myself, it's a lot harder than other race games and without good controller feedback it's hard to really feel much benefit from setup changes. I'd love to give you some good setups but unlike F1 where there are forums dedicated to good setups it's extremely hard to find anything on WRC to help. Controller? If so then yes very tough to get use to but I personally found turning off assists better than having assists on, no idea why but I had more stability off, brake assist isn't too bad though, but it will slow your times down a lot.
