Yes, it certainly does! It was starting to get some wider attention with how well WorldRX was doing before they switched to electric and put it behind a paywall. Now we have to hope it recovers from those years! Stage rally is still my favorite motorsport, but rallycross has become a close second. Unfortunately I don't know anyone IRL that's a fan, so I have to go to my community and others online to talk about it!
I honestly think a good game could bring some life to the sport as a whole. I became a rally fan due to the games, and most of the younger fans I know got into it the same way.
