Interestingly, most of the evidence in the video comes from tarmac stages and from third-person view. Allegedly, EA Sports WRC, just like DiRT Rally 2, has cars rotate around a single, central pivot point, instead of their tires actually slipping. Their video is based on clips from DiRT Rally 2.0 and official gameplay preview clips of EA Sports WRC. So, what is the matter with it? Put simply, YouTuber mrelwood games has released a video looking into the physics of DiRT Rally 2.0 and EA Sports WRC. EA Sports WRC Physics: Central Pivot Point? Mind you, this is without most sim racers even having gotten their hands on the title, as a preview version was made available only to influencers and media outlets thus far. As a result, it should come as no surprise that even ahead of EA Sports WRC‘s release, a debate has broken out about this very element. The article has been corrected accordingly.Īrguments about the accuracy of physics models in sim racing are probably as old as the genre itself. However, the EA Sports WRC footage in their video is not from that version. Note (October 21st): The article previously stated that the YouTuber who created the physics analysis video had access to the preview build of the game. Do the cars have a single pivot point or not? And does it even matter? With the release of EA Sports WRC just around the corner, a debate about its physics has emerged.
