If the onslaught of EA Sports WRC bugs and updates is getting tiring, rally fans do have another fun option. Art of Rally is a popular top-down racer that portrays the history of rally just as well as the latest title.
The replication of the rally lifestyle gets an extra push today as the indie title’s developer Funselektor launches its latest DLC pack. Art of Rally players can now race their way through Australia in the latest content drop. Bringing a number of new stages, cars and even the all-important Aussie wildlife to the fray, the pack is certainly plentiful. Here is everything one can expect in the 9€ DLC.
Gum Scrub, Toorooka, Nulla Nulla, Comara Canyon, Lake Lucernia and Wombamurra all feature terrain one would recognise as Australian. Large, open plains with an orange dusting and the odd tree filling the role of ‘something to hit.’ Elsewhere, one will also fly past new wildlife in these new stages. Kangaroos and Emus are all part of the show.

The pack also comes with a quartet of new cars. Whilst not bearing their real names, any rally fan will easily recognise the models. The Rotary Kei is a kei truck akin to that of the Hoonigan Garage’s rotary-swapped model. The Das Scholar represents an Opel Ascona in factory colours. Das Maestro is the Group B Opel Manta, a true challenge in most rally titles. Finally, the Kingpin is a Ford Focus WRC much like the famous Colin McRae model of the early 2000’s.

Several bugs throughout the game have been addressed with this latest patch. Graphical imperfections such as poorly rendering ghosts and object clipping should be no more. Furthermore, some crash events and audio glitches are also fixed with version 1.5.0.
