World Rally Championship is a rally driving game for the PlayStation 2. It is the first rallying game to be officially licensed by the FIA World Rally Championship and is based on the 2001 WRC season. It was released on November 30, 2001 in Europe and March 21, 2002 in North America.
WRC features 21 drivers representing 7 teams and all 14 venues from the season. Game modes feature quick rally, single rally, championship and time trial.
21 drivers and seven teams appear on the game. Although Citroen did not undertake a full season, they are featured on the game at all events and thus eligible to score team points in championship mode.
