As mentioned last week, EA Sports WRC Season 3 is available today featuring new Rally Pass items, Moments and more. Players have the opportunity to access various customization options by accumulating XP during gameplay, with a total of 20 reward tiers available. Drivers can also unlock up to 10 free items, along with an extra five through EA Play and an additional 15 with the VIP Rally Pass, making for a combined total of 30 items throughout the entire season.
A new Season of Moments are included as well, designed to honor the legacy of WRC through daily in-game challenges. As the 2024 real-world season progresses, Moments inspired by the ongoing rallies will become accessible within the game shortly after each event, typically within 1-2 weeks. Since Season 3 has begun, all Season 2 Moments have transitioned over to the Archive tab, allowing players to revisit them at their leisure.
Here’s some of the Season 3 Moments.
A British Icon (Monte Carlo)
At the 1964 Monte-Carlo rally, Paddy Hopkirk took a win so iconic it became one of the defining historic moments for the MINI Cooper S as a car, with his win remaining in rally folklore to this day. The MINI Cooper S was unrivaled in these icy conditions.
Unlucky Moment (Chile)
While on a charge Teemu Suninen damaged his steering badly, crashing out of this event despite what looked like a promising turn of events for the Finn.
The Jack of All Trades (Mexico)
The highly sought after Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 road car was modified for rallying, seeing success early on in its career, as well as in other racing series. In modern times the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500 remains a true classic.
A Defiant Monte-Carlo Defence (Monte Carlo)
Erik Cais started the final day of the Rallye Automobile de Monte-Carlo 2022 with a 44.5 second lead, maintaining this lead to win this iconic event.
WRC Prototype (Sardinia)
The Volkswagen Polo 2017 never made it to international competition but was tested extensively before the project ended. Naturally, this surface type would have been part of this testing program had it continued.
