- Players will need to plan the season using the game’s calendar and decide what events, training, manufacturer challenges etc to carry out between rallies.
- Manage a crew that comprises of six different and interconnected job roles. Each job has their own characteristics and can affect rallies in different ways.
- Players can upgrade their crew through a selection of R&D and a skill tree choices. Each decision impacts progression and the crew’s morale, performance, reliability etc.
At the end of each season players will be able view statistics that will enable players to review and refine their strategy, adjust set-ups and upgrade their vehicle.
