Footwork FA12

This FootworkArrows car had a disastrious 1991 season. Firstly it couldn’t fit its engine, the Porsche 3512 3.5 V12, but even when it did it was heavy, slow, and unreliable. By mid-season the team redesigned the chassis to fit a Hart-prepared Cosworth-Ford DFR V8 engine, but that only led to a season high 10th-place finish in the Japanese Grand Prix.

First seen in sim racing with F1GP (1992).

EA have released a new patch for EA Sports WRC that, for me, does appear to have fixed the stuttering and general performance issues some users have faced since the product released earlier this month. Unfortunately though, many responses to the Twitter announcement of the patch do suggest many people still have issues.

Patch highlights:
– Stability & Performance Improvements
– Stutter Reduction Improvements
– Crash Fixes
– Earlier Co-Driver Calls

The next patch after this is expected to release in mid-December.
