Codemasters Sign 5-Year Exclusive WRC Deal Starting 2023

For all their flaws (and there are a few), this could also be a hugely enjoyable experience.

The exclusivity is a bit of a disappointing factor in this agreement, as BigBen Interactive were just starting to find their feet and seemed to be on a course of genuine improvement.
