The 2024 season update for EA Sports WRC is not far off anymore - and now, the stage lists for the two new locations Latvia and Poland have been unveiled.
When it first launched in 2023, it was not quite clear if EA Sports WRC was intended to be an annual release or not. Almost a year later, we know that it is not a series that will see a new title every year - instead, the 2024 season update for the game is set to release on October 8.
Not only does that mean that the 2024 WRC cars, drivers and liveries will make their debut, but also two new locations that were not on the 2023 World Rally Championship calendar: Latvia and Poland. Much like the Central European Rally that was added after the game's launch last year, the two Eastern European rallies will join the list of EA Sports WRC locations.
The real-life events were run in succession this June and July, with Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Haltunen taking the victory on each occasion, marking victories number 2 and 3 for the part-time Toyota duo. While Latvia made its WRC debut, it was a comeback for Poland, which had been part of the WRC calendar in 2009 and from 2014 to 2017 before.
Both locations look rather fast judging from the stage route previews posted to social media, with Latvia being run exclusively on gravel and Poland throwing the occasional tarmac road in the mix. Both should be challenging events, possibly similar to Rally Estonia or even Rally Finland.
