Group B - Too fast raceThe Group B set ofregulations wereintroduced in 1982 forcompetition vehiclesin sportscar racing andrallying regulated bythe FIA. The Group Bregulations fostered someof the fastest, mostpowerful, and mostsophisticated rally carsever built and iscommonly referred to asthe golden era ofrallying. However, aseries of majoraccidents, some of themfatal, were blamed ontheir outright speed andlack of crowd-control atevents.

should see the
series adopt hybrid
power. Codemasters
previously held the
WRC license back iin
2002, with what was
then Colin McRae
Rally 3. After the
rights to WRC passed
on to Evolution
Studios, Codemasters
developed the Colin
McRae Rally series
into DIRT, a series
which it still
develops today.
Indeed the studio
revealed DIRT 5,
coming this October,
just last month.
The studio will
continue to develop
the DIRT series, and
is reportedly already
working on a title
that will post-date
the new licensing
agreement. However,
Codemasters now has
access to the cars
and events of the
official World Rally
Championship —
including WRC-2, WRC-
3, and junior WRC
categories— for the
new series. The new
deal will also allow
the studio to run
official WRC
esports tournaments,
as it already does
with Formula 1. Along
with WRC, DIRT, and
F1, Codemasters also
owns the GRID and
Project CARS
franchises, giving the
UK-based developer an
impressive motorsports
game portfolio. The
first game in the new
WRC series is due some
time in 2023, for the
50th anniversary of
the championship
itself.
