Re: 2023 Season Grand Prix Megathread
@ScarDuck14 from the sound of it they have really gone all out. My concern is if they can do THIS strong with WRC then something major needs to come out from F1 24 otherwise its going to get ugly
Forum Discussion
@Cpayne32Just to give it a reasonable perspective, WRC has been developed solely for current gen consoles, no PS4/XBone. Probably allowed developers far more time to focus on a good game. As it's a "new" franchise with a lower fan base, EA can do this as it's probably not financially viable with doing it for last gen. F1 is another matter...
- @TotosHeadphones Yeah. I think things are going to change especially with big time titles focusing on current gen such as Spiderman and GTA6 (if it ever comes out 😂😂😂). I know some things are restricted but honestly from what i have heard and seen from WRC career mode it has what a lot of F1 fans have been asking for.
- @Cpayne32 Yeah, in a roundabout way, I think I'm trying to say there's hope for F1 if Codemasters/EA drop last gen (and skip a year!).
Not sure I'm liking these triple headers. Need a break to build the excitement Yeah. For me F1 23 focused on all the wrong areas. F1 World got too boring and repetitive that i stopped playing very quickly. Ranked was chaotic and career modes has nothing new to want me to play long term
@ScarDuck14 you got me hooked, pal 😉 It is something I'd expect in F1 games, too. Maybe I start to like rally much more 😉
Well, I think they (EA/CM) should do that, @TotosHeadphones . Skipping a year could give them time to finally rebuild the game and avoid all mistakes piled up over years. And start to focus on what gamers want, not just how to make money out of useless nonsense.
- @P4st3l1ak Loads of reviews on YouTube now. Watch a few before buying.,
@ScarDuck14
Just watched Trevor's intro and I love it already 😉
But I give it more time to see all the others as well.UPDATE: Overtake_gg also pointed out few issues but I am not rattled enough, it still seems pretty good. However, Rally Pass is a must, I guess, being it an EA game.
And customisation is nice, especially the livery (although it reminds NFS a little 😉) But still better than nothing at all.

Hey everyone,
it's great that you are all excited for WRC and want to talk about it, but this section should be about F1 and this thread about the actual F1 Grand Prixs.
We've got our own section specifically for WRC where you are more than welcome to talk about the game!
https://answers.ea.com/t5/EA-SPORTS-WRC/ct-p/wrc-en
If you otherwise got a different topic you want to bring up, please just create a new thread.
-Vendcera- @EA_Vendcera Sorry dude. I appreciate what your saying. However back when I started this thread I asked for it to be pinned and it will be used as a general chat as it will be mainly regulars that post on it. I asked if this would be ok in barracks and was told it would be a great idea 😁
- EA_Vendcera@ScarDuck14 Yeah, it's no big deal but let's please keep it on topic. 🙂 If there is something else to talk about, simply create a new thread. Especially conversations about a completely different game would better belong in the other dedicated category for it.
- @EA_Vendcera Also I did put it in my very first post on this thread that it’s ok to go off topic provided that we remember it’s about F1. This thread goes off topic constantly. We even discuss how to make the perfect cup of tea. Milk first? No! Last! But come race weekend the topic goes back to F1. This thread is a safe space for all the regulars who have posted on the F1 games for years. And somewhere they can still post on this forum without fear off getting toxic replies
Besides me talking about WRC on here looks to have got EA a couple of sales. 😇 Mark Hughes commenting on Ricciardo's impact on Alpha Tauri form as of late.
Obligatory refresh on Ricciardo's style by Driver61!
Edit: Hmm... Considering that not everyone will have the foresight of opening up the image on a new tab in full res, here's what Hughes said 😅
The AlphaTauri is indeed a much improved car of late. But that is very much down to Ricciardo having taken the team in a completely different set up direction.
He!s living with a much livelier rear than the previous drivers had felt comfortable with.
Well that was an anticlimactic end to qualifying. Strange to see Aston Martin finding so much pace. But Sergio starting 9th is not good for his championship fight with Lewis
- @Cpayne32 What was stranger was stroll beating Alonso
- @ScarDuck14 Yeah no idea where that came from
Interlagos 💚💛💙
Later today @dancrodrigues will share his first hand experience of Oconzinho's talent.
- Home race of the legends @mariohomoh and @dancrodrigues
May I ask what the denizens of Sau Paulo thought of Ocon not losing the car? He was pretty adamant 😬
The race doesn't bode well for anyone who doesn't support Max Verstappen. 😍😍😍
Interlagos has always been one of my all time favourite tracks. Not only to watch F1 but to race on in every F1 game since OG Grand Prix
@ScarDuck14 I totally agree 🙂
Lap 17. Is this a record for Russell's divaness?
Super Nando 💪 while Charles strongly needs… Lourdes 😢
😫 Some of his radio messages today have not helped his portrayal of not being a self - entitled idiot. He's like a man-child. He claims to work for the team but he's only ever following his own agenda.
Excellent racing for third and quite a comeback for the Astons.
Mercedes are cooked for Las Vegas. Oh lordy, similar air density conditions to Sau Paulo and also that long straight with the parachute rear wing. Cooked.
Charles was so unlucky, again ☹️
Lando got his teeth out but it was obvious that Max won't let him through.
But I liked Alonso's drag race to finish line 😉 And how he played Checo to give him that position back in last lap 😉
When I see Charles LeCrash again. I couldn’t help myself and laughed in his direction. But after I heard what the issue was. I was gutted for him. He thinks he’s unlucky. But majority of his bad luck is caused by Ferrari.
Seeing Landos start and then attempt a move on Max. I was praying today was the day and McLaren had found a Red Bull beating setup. Only to see the delta every lap. Lando would gain a tenth and every time Max would respond with 2 tenths.
Georgie needs to shut his mouth. He just embarrasses himself every time he opens his mouth.
