I've just purchased WRC 9.

I want to say that it was the '99 game, but why did it still have a Ford Escort?  The final European model year of the Escort was '98.  I think the game was a few years old when my uncle gave it to me in '06 or so.

Ford Escorts were pretty popular rally cars back then so maybe that's why? I don't know for certain but car games tend to do this a lot.

It could also be the game developers honoring a legendary car model on its way out.  Also, I've found another difference between WRC 8 and 9.  In 8 one can only reach experience level 50.  You can reach level 60 in 9.

I did notice that in wrc 9 but I thought the difference in level is negligible and when I did play it I found the game was a bit tougher than wrc 8 and you needed to do more to reach a higher experience level.

A game glitch that I've noticed is that my penalties aren't displayed in bright enough numbers on the leader board between stages.  This gets annoying when I'm trying to beat the objective on penalty times and the number is hard to see.  It's a minor grievance though.

Are you sure it's not from the screen of the tv  you are gaming From, I didn't experience such when I played WRC 9 the penalties were clear enough.

I only play my Switch as a handheld.  The other figures are in the white letters and numbers like they are supposed to be.

I don't think that's a glitch though, when I got the Nintendo switch OLED version it has a protective covering over the screen which made the resolution to drop and after a few weeks I realized the covering was still on so I pulled it out and the resolution was now much sharper and clearer.

I have.  The Rally Sweden rules.  I'm also good at Portugal.  I like Sardinia, but I'm not as good as I used to be there.  I've also been devolving in Finland.  They changed the stage routes and I like the old ones better.  Germany is tough, but it was tough in WRC 8 also.  Wales has been good to me, I've improved at it.  Another thing that I've noticed is that my car only gets body and lighting damage.  Vital systems like the engine and transmission are nearly indestructible in WRC 9.  I'll keep you guys informed on more differences between 8 and 9 as they come up.
