It\u2019s time for the arrival of EA Sports WRC\u2019s second DLC pack. Le Maestros follows on from October\u2019s 2024 expansion, bringing with it six new cars and a bunch of new stages to the game for you to tackle.<\/p>\n

Is it worth your money, though? We\u2019ve been behind the virtual wheel of every car in the pack on one of those new stages, Portugal\u2019s Ruiv\u00e3es, and have a few thoughts.<\/p>\n

R2 cars are one of the best ways to get to grips with EA WRC, and the Citroen<\/a> C2 R2 Max is another example of that. It\u2019s a very forgiving little car, yet a lot of fun to drive. The base setup is nicely sorted, and for learning new stages, it\u2019s a handy bit of kit.<\/p>\n

Ruiv\u00e3es time: 3:42.254<\/p>\n

Peugeot 206 1600<\/h2>\n
\"Every<\/picture> <\/figure>\n

Admittedly, S1600 cars don\u2019t do a great deal for me in WRC and the Peugeot<\/a> 206 falls into a category of cars I\u2019ll probably forget are in the game. It\u2019s quite prone to understeer and I found myself fighting with the car more than I\u2019d like. With a bit of setup work, it\u2019ll probably be fine but there are more fun options in the game.<\/p>\n

Ruiv\u00e3es time: 3:31.253<\/p>\n

Citroen Xsara Kit Car<\/h2>\n

I love driving F2 Kit Cars in any game, and the Citroen Xsara is one of the most iconic. I\u2019m delighted it’s finally in EA WRC, and it\u2019s easily my favourite of all the new additions in Le Maestros. Its front end is pinpoint in cornering, it\u2019ll rotate on a dime and it sounds brilliant.<\/p>\n

Ruiv\u00e3es time: 3:22.672<\/p>\n

VW Polo R WRC<\/h2>\n

VW Polo WRC 2013, EA Sports WRC<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As one of the new WRC 2012-2016 category cars, I suspect the VW<\/a> Polo WRC might be the meta \u2013 if you can get a handle on it. It feels hard, fast and loose at speed but is a joy to drive once you\u2019re in tune with it.<\/p>\n

Ruiv\u00e3es time: 3:20.948<\/p>\n

Citroen DS3 WRC<\/h2>\n

While the Polo will probably be the class meta in the right hands, for the rest of us, the Citroen DS3 WRC is probably a better choice for longer rallies. It\u2019s not outright as quick as the VW, but feels a lot more composed and easier to handle. Something my Ruiv\u00e3es time probably shows.<\/p>\n

Ruiv\u00e3es time: 3:20.114<\/p>\n

Citroen C3 WRC<\/h2>\n

Although WRC\u2019s late \u201810s is, quite honestly, forgettable, the cars are wonderful bits of engineering. The Citroen C3 WRC is composed to drive and mightily fast with lots of grip, albeit not overly challenging. Then again, you can say pretty much the same for any car of its class.<\/p>\n

Ruiv\u00e3es time: 3:14.986<\/p>\n

Is Le Maestros worth buying?<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re a French rally car connoisseur, the Le Maestros is pretty much a must-buy. \u00a0Beyond that though, it\u2019s not a pack I\u2019d pick up on its own.<\/p>\n

Pricing has yet to be confirmed, but expect it to be around \u00a310. For six cars that are limited to modes outside of career and some more stages on already existing rallies, it\u2019s not a bad deal but buying the 24 Season Expansion Bundle throws this new pack, the 24 Expansion and the upcoming Hard Chargers in. If you already have the bundle, then there\u2019s no extra cost.<\/p>\n

Its RRP of \u00a324.99 seems fair, but wait for a sale and it\u2019s a bargain. For transparency, EA has provided us with the game and expansions for review purposes on PC but I bought WRC 24 on PS5 previously \u2013 which includes the base game and all expansions \u2013 for around \u00a315.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
