Mourning the end of another brilliant season in the WRC? Fear not. EA Sports WRC 24 has some great alternatives to re-watching your favourite moments. Why not experience them for yourself?
This year's WRC season finale in Japan was envisioned as a war between Hyundai's two top teams. Thierry Neuville and Martijn Wydaeghe against Estonian Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja. The cards would fall the way of Neuville and Wydaeghe, with Tänak dramatically rolling his Hyundai after just the first stage on the final day of competition, handing Neuville his first drivers championship.
Tänak's crash ultimately retired him from the rally, meaning he was jumped for second in the championship by eventual Rally winner Elvyn Evens.
Evans' drive to victory was very special; he showed precisely why championship success has been knocking on the door for years. Will 2025 finally be his year to take that top step of the podium?
Neuville knew he was the champion before even turning a wheel on this stage. It was a victory tour for the Belgian. The tight and twisty Japanese roads at full throttle in a Rally1 car is something every sim racer should experience.
Comparison between Rally Japan's final stage in reality and EA Sports WRC
Get as close to the action as possible with this recreation. In future updates, this run may even make it into the 'Moments' category, where you will have an official leaderboard against which to compare yourselves!
Throughout Rally Japan, there were multiple actions that could be put into the ' Moments' mode within EA Sports WRC. The mode is limited by the car and stage list, of course, but there are plenty of other stages and rallies you can find within the game that either resemble or are an excellent copy of a real rally stage.
EA Sports WRC closets 'Moment' as of November 2024
One thing to note is that Rally Chile does not appear to draw inspiration from actual stages in EA Sports WRC. However, there is a wide range of choices outside of that event. Whether you prefer the snow-laden stages of Sweden or the fast open first runs of Finland. There's a rally to have plenty of fun re-creating.
Exploring and finding out where your favourite rally moments took place this year is quite the test; how many accurate stages have you found in EA Sports WRC? Let us know in the comments below!

Neuville's Cruise To Victory
The final stage of Rally Japan in 2024 was Lake Mikawako 2, a power stage. While this exact stage is not in EA Sports WRC, the closest you will get is the Lake Mikawa stage.
