EA Sports WRC: Wheel settings explained

EA Sports WRC 23 lets players feel every bump on the road when racing, so wheel settings are essential to keep control of your car. Here’s every wheel setting in EA Sports WRC explained.

EA Sports WRC is set to be a unique racing experience with multiple game modes for players to really enjoy what Rally racing is about. As with titles like The Crew Motorfest and Forza Motorsport, it’s important to know everything about the Wheel settings that will suit you the most and get you enjoying every race.

Thanks to the combination of Unreal Engine and classic DiRT Rally physics, Codemasters made sure that the environment plays a crucial part when deciding how to set all nine options and find the best combination to get the best out of your racing experience.

EA Sports WRC: What are the categories for wheel settings?

EA Sports WRC has nine different categories for wheel settings:

• Self-Aligned Torque: Self-aligned torque is the overall force you will feel through the wheel. This will be most noticeable during high-speed, long-radius corners.
• Wheel Friction: This adds overall weight to the wheel (static and in motion). Tyre friction settings can also affect the outcome of this setting.
• Tyre Friction: The Tyre Friction simulates the effects of understeer, so the lower the settings, the the effect will be more pronounced.
• Tyre Slip: This simulates wheel spin when accelerating or losing traction through corners and adds vibration when your tyres are losing grip, and you’re about to lose control of your vehicle.
• Suspension: The suspension is key to feeling the road surface and the environment under the car. Whether you’re on snow, tarmac, or gravel, this setting is key for hitting your braking zones and corners.
• Collision: Collision is the force you’ll feel when you hit obstacles, which is why it is better to keep these settings low for better control.
• Engine: The engine setting creates vibration when the engine is at max RPM, but you only need this during stage starts.
• Soft Lock: The Soft Lock is the resistance at the end of the steering rack. In a real car, this shows the limits of your steering availability.
• Steering center force: This option will auto-center your steering wheel when parked, but you’ll want to keep this setting off for a real driving experience.
