A study announced today could pave the way for a new generation of World Rally Championship video games in which players compete against the professionals using GPS data from actual rallies.

WRC promoter North One Sport has launched a feasibility study into the new interactive gaming concept and is working in partnership with two leaders in the gaming and positioning data industries - iOpener and Black Bean Games.

The companies will collect a continuous stream of positioning and telemetry data from the cars competing on WRC rallies this year and hope to create a gaming experience with new levels of accuracy and realism.
