WRC 3 is a racing video game developed by Evolution Studios and published by Sony Computer Entertainment in 2003 as a part of the World Rally Championship series.[1] The game was released for PlayStation 2 on November 21, 2003 in Europe, and later on May 27, 2004 in Japan.[2]
Teams and drivers
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.

Because Colin McRae had his own video game series at this time, Sony could not acquire the license for him to appear, and he was not replaced. The Citroën team therefore had two drivers instead of three.
