Play how you want to, but fail to deliver and you're out of your contract But if you don't deliver, ultimately you'll be out of contract, which won't help you reach your ultimate goals any faster. You can run with less crew members and skip repairs to keep costs down, but then will it affect your overall result? The choice is yours to play how you want to play. Your manufacturer won't just desert you if you slip into the red, but you have to earn enough from results to pay the crew and cover the cost of repairs. It's one of the finer points of the career mode. I'm far from a pro, but getting hunkered down, in the zone and training your brain to funnel the co-drivers notes into your fingers is the recipe for success. If anything, WRC 8 is a little easier to get to grips with using a wheel, because you're in complete control and are better able to deal with bumps, slides, jumps and react when you get it a bit wrong.

The best experience comes with a wheel, and as ever, WRC 8 supports all the main steering wheels from the likes of Thrustmaster and Logitech, as well as manual shifters. It's hard to be delicate barrelling down a country track at 100mph, increasing the dead zone gives you a little more headroom and allows you to be gentler in the turns while still working the stick hard. But, adjusting the deadzone in settings worked wonders. During the first couple of runs, the handling felt overly twitchy, and I was hitting a lot of trees (rallying is brutal). You'll need to jump in and adjust the stock controller settings though, in particular, the deadzone.
It's still equal immensely satisfying, hair-pullingly frustrating and downright terrifying, but that's what makes rallying so enjoyable. Previously I felt that the handling in WRC 7 was artificially difficult, but in this year's game the engine has been improved with assistance from actual WRC drivers, and it feels good. Perhaps the most important change in this year's game is the improved physics.
