There are other, later classics such as the Volkswagen Polo R WRC and Loeb’s all conquering Citroen Xsara. We suspect similar feelings are had by those who watched the Group B era explode, quite literally, before morphing into the sport we know today. Perhaps it’s all related to McRae’s untimely death or the sheer thrill of watching the likes of Sainz, Mäkinen and McRae (and later Richard Burns) battle it out for supremacy left a mark on all those who watched on. If, like this reviewer, you grew up with the WRC of this era, seeing these two cars on the roster, albeit as DLC if you don’t have the deluxe version, is emotional to say the least. Then there’s other iconic cars such as the Lancia Delta Integrale and the legendary cars from the nineties in the form of Colin McRae’s Subaru Impreza and Tommi Mäkinen’s Mitsubishi Lancer. Vehicle-wise, we have everything from the early beginnings in cars such as Alpine A110 Berlinette or the Lancia Fulvia before morphing into the Group B monsters such the Peugeot 205 T16 Evo 1 or Audi Quattro Sport. It’s wonderful to see her name among other iconic stars of the WRC’s history and hopefully a few younger rally fans will learn about her achievements as a result of it. If that doesn’t say a lot about how awesome she was, in 2012 she was inducted into the rally hall of fame alongside two-time world champion Carlos Sainz. She finished second overall in 1982, the year before Group B arrived, and during her career won four rallies and obtained nine podiums. Like any motorsport its top level is dominated by men, but if you know your WRC history seeing the name Michèle Mouton on the roster will mean quite a lot.

What’s wonderful this time around is that these iconic cars cover all the main eras and have a relatively representative driver pool as well. Nothing pleases us more than to see Subaru join the fold this year
