WRC - World Rally Championship (PS2) price, value & rarity
Is WRC - World Rally Championship still worth playing in 2026?
The first entry in the official WRC series from Evolution Studios, WRC World Rally Championship lays the foundations of the licensed rally simulation with a demanding driving model, varied stages and a faithful recreation of the championship rounds. The sense of grip across changing surfaces, the demand of the driving and the career mode appeal to motorsport fans. The PS2 production has aged against modern standards. A good rally game for fans of realistic driving and off road competition.
