In a nearly 10-minute segment, an insight is given into the work and preparations for the game, which according to official statements is meant to be more of a revolution than an evolution. There are clips showing GRIT Games’ visit to PH Sport, a company specialized in the preparation and maintenance of real rally cars, which for example prepared the cars of the Lancia WRC 2 team for racing this year.
At PH Sport, a core team from GRIT Games got a behind-the-scenes look and was able to exchange ideas with engineers and other responsible persons and conduct 3D scans of the cars. It was also confirmed that Nacon holds the WRC video game license from 2027 to 2032, which theoretically means 6 games, and that instead of the KT engine, the Unreal Engine is used as the technical engine of the game.
