How to Find a Car Setup for Your Rally Game on WRCsetups.com
Updated
Start in the Setups By Game section and select the game you play (Assetto Corsa Rally, DiRT Rally 2.0, EA Sports WRC, WRC 10, WRC 8, WRC 9, or WRC Generations). From there, match a setup to your car, class, and rally location, then check the notes and comments before downloading. The site is a community setup library, so quality varies by submission — ratings and comments are your main filter.
Step 1: Pick your game
The homepage lists every supported title under Setups By Game. Selecting a game narrows the library to setups submitted for that title, which matters because setups are not interchangeable between games — a DiRT Rally 2.0 tune won't transfer to EA Sports WRC.
| Game | Example setups visible on the site |
|---|---|
| DiRT Rally 2.0 | Škoda Fabia R5 — New England (all stages) |
| EA Sports WRC | Toyota GR Yaris Rally2 — Monte Carlo (dry, non-winter); Peugeot 309 GTI — Iberia; Hyundai i20 N Rally1 Hybrid — Rally Scandia |
| WRC Generations | Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 — Acropolis Rally of Gods |
| Assetto Corsa Rally | Peugeot 208 Rally4 — Alsace (dry tarmac) |
Step 2: Match car, class, and location
Each setup entry names the car, its class (e.g., R5, WRC2, H2 FWD, Rally4), and the rally or stage it was built for. Match all three where possible:
- Car and class — a setup for the GR Yaris Rally2 (WRC2) is built around that car's drivetrain and suspension; don't apply it to a Rally1 car.
- Rally/location — surface and stage character drive the tune. A Monte Carlo dry setup is explicitly labeled "non winter," so it won't suit snow or ice conditions.
- Stage coverage — many entries say "All stages," meaning the author intended it as a general tune for that rally rather than one specific stage.
Step 3: Read the notes before you commit
Setup notes carry the context that determines whether a tune fits you. Examples from the site include:
- Input and assists — "controller no assists pc" tells you the author tuned for a gamepad with no driving aids; if you drive with a wheel or assists on, expect to adjust.
- Surface — "dry tarmac" on the Peugeot 208 Rally4 Alsace tune signals it isn't a wet or gravel setup.
- Conditions — "dry non winter" on the Monte Carlo GR Yaris setup rules out snowy Monte stages.
If your input device, assist settings, or surface differ from the notes, treat the setup as a starting point and tweak it.
Step 4: Use ratings and comments to judge quality
The site shows a star rating and comment count on each setup, plus a Latest Comments feed. Use them as follows:
- Ratings with several votes are more informative than a single 5.0 from one user. A 4.6 from 3 ratings (the Monte Carlo GR Yaris setup) carries more signal than an unrated 0.0 entry.
- Comments reveal fit problems. One comment on a Ford Puma Rally1 Sweden setup (WRC Generations) says the car slides sideways and feels unstable — a warning that the tune may not suit everyone.
- Newly created setups often have no ratings yet. They may still be worth trying, but you're testing them yourself.
Step 5: Browse trending or latest if you don't have a target
If you haven't settled on a car or rally, two sections help:
- Trending Setups — currently popular entries, useful for seeing what the community is running.
- Latest Setups — the newest submissions, often with fresh notes on input and surface.
Both show the game, car, class, rally, rating, and comment count in one line, so you can scan quickly before opening anything.
Common snags
- No exact match for your car/rally combo. Pick the closest class and surface, then adjust gearing and suspension yourself.
- Setup built for different controls. A wheel-tuned setup on a controller (or vice versa) will feel off; the notes usually state which was used.
- Unrated setups. Check the comment thread first — early feedback often flags instability or surface mismatch.
- Cross-game confusion. Always confirm the game label on the setup card before applying it.
The site also has Log In / Register options, which are useful if you want to comment or share your own setups; browsing and reading setup details don't require an account based on the pages shown.
