WRC 3: The Official Game of the FIA World Rally Championship (also known as WRC 2003) is a 2003 racing video game developed by Evolution Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2. It was released by Spike in Japan.

Gameplay

WRC 3 features 17 drivers from 7 teams. Although Mitsubishi did not participate full-time in the championship this season, they appear on every event in the game and are therefore eligible to score team points in championship mode. Likewise, Hyundai appeared in each event despite withdrawing from the championship in real life towards the end of the season. All 14 rallies from the official 2003 WRC calendar appear on the game.
