The ultimate aim is to get into the 'One-on-One' mode, but I must first fulfill a series of tasks that consists of a certain number of criteria as I competed in other events that included 'Race', 'Destruction' and 'Checkpoint'.

The last incarnation of our favourite boxer-clad rally machine was a bit of a disappointment, missing all the flared-arch fenders and gaping air dams, the response to the GR WRX was lukewarm, at best.
