WRC 7 leans Execution (Pure Mechanics). Below: catalogued games with the closest cheat-test profile, and exactly where each one differs.

Matched first against: Racing - then ranked by cheat-test profile.

Like WRC 7, but easier

Same cheat-test neighborhood, lower Execution demand - the hands aren't as punishing.
