The third annual eSports WRC Season is almost upon us.

From the 25th of January, the WRC 7 players will compete to become the best driver in the world.

This year will see a similar format to last year but this time in quicker succession. The regular season will run until the end of July and culminate during the Rally Finland, followed by the Grand Final later in the year.

eSports WRC - Season Calendar

Like last year, every rally will run from Thursday to Sunday and drivers will have 5 attempts to record their best time. Each round will usually contain of a Super Special Stage (or a Special stage in the case of Rally Wales GB, Rally Monte Carlo and Tour de Corse) and one of the new Epic Stages.

eSports Season 3 - Rally Timeline

Placing among the top 50 for each Rally will earn players championship points and the players who accrue the most points over the course of the season will earn a spot in the Grand Final and unlike last year, in 2018 every single championship round counts!

 

eSports WRC 2018 Team Championship

In addition to the regular Championship, this year will see the inaugural eSports WRC Team Championship.

Pre-selected teams of up to 5 players will compete to be crowned the best WRC eSports Team in the world. The field of team will mainly consist of teams recognized in the eSports racing scene and will be revealed before the first round.

Each round, the championship points earned by the three best performing team members will be added to the team score. The team with the most championship points at the end of the regular season will be crowned champion!

The patch tackles two main points:

1. The correction of multiple discrepancies relating to the representation of teams, drivers and their cars.
