As part of the upcoming WRC 10 rally game, there will be a special Anniversary mode celebrating 50 years of the FIA World Rally Championship.
For those who pre-order the game on console, they will receive a free car and additional event within this mode – the Subaru Impreza WRC from 1997 and a challenge set on the classic Sanremo Italian stages.
The car is none other than the late, great, Colin McRae’s, co-driven by Nick Grist at this time, and is the first time he will adorn a video game outside of the Codemasters developed Colin McRae Rally or DiRT Rally titles.
Colin and Nicky won the Rallye Sanremo – Rallye d’Italia in 1997, after a duel with the last Italian to win a round of the WRC, team-mate Piero Liatti. The Scot lead into the final stage, but Liatti powered through to take the win, only to be instructed by the team to take a time penalty and drop to second.
In WRC 10 then, it’s fair to assume that you will be trying to recreate this victory.
