How to run WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship on your Mac in 2026
Best path: CrossOver
CrossOver runs WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship natively on Apple Silicon by translating DirectX to Metal. One-click install, no Windows VM, full local performance.
WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship
Hailed by reviewers and professional drivers, the standard-setting off-road racing simulation has been reinvented! Reach the 2021 season podium, and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the competition, relive the highlights at the wheel of legendary cars.
WRC 10 runs surprisingly well on Apple Silicon via CrossOver or Whisky, provided you use DXVK for the best stability across weather effects and lighting.
What the world thinks
- Install CrossOver (23.5 or newer recommended).
- Create a new bottle named 'WRC 10' and select the Windows 10 64-bit template.
- Install Steam into this bottle.
- Within the bottle settings on the right-hand sidebar, toggle D3DMetal OFF and ensure DXVK is toggled ON. While D3DMetal (GPTK) can work, DXVK often yields better frame stability in this specific engine.
- Enable High Resolution Mode in the bottle settings to avoid UI scaling issues.
- Launch Steam, download WRC 10, and run the game.
Whisky (Free)
Whisky provides a streamlined wrapper for the Game Porting Toolkit. Create a bottle, install Steam, and ensure you are using the latest GPTK version. If you encounter a black screen on launch, try adding -windowed to the Steam launch options.

How to run WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship on Mac with CrossOver
Good· CompatibilityRunning WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship through CrossOver translates its Windows DirectX calls into Metal on Apple Silicon — no reboot, no Windows license, no virtual machine. Most setup time is spent on first-time bottle configuration and installing the game launcher (Steam, Epic, etc.) inside CrossOver. Once that's done, launching feels close to native. Expect 15–30 minutes of setup on the first run.
Step-by-step
Step 1 — Create a bottle
- Open CrossOver → click New Bottle
- Name it after the game (e.g.
WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship) and choose Windows 10 64-bit - Open the bottle's Settings and set:
- Graphics: D3DMetal (not DXVK)
- Synchronization: ESync
- High Resolution Mode: Off
Step 2 — Install the game launcher
- Inside CrossOver, click Install Application → search for Steam (or Epic Games Launcher if you own it there)
- Install it into the same bottle you just created
- Launch Steam, log in, and let it fully update before proceeding
Step 3 — Install and launch WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship
- Open Steam (or your launcher) inside CrossOver
- Install WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship through the launcher as normal
- Launch the game — use the launcher's Play button, not CrossOver directly
- First launch may take 30–90 seconds to show a window. Don't force-quit unless it hangs for several minutes.
Step 4 — If you hit issues
- Black screen / stuck in small window: go to Settings → Graphics in-game, set Screen Type to Fullscreen, then restart
- Resolution resets on every launch: find the game's config/settings file and set the resolution values manually, then mark the file Read-Only to prevent the game overwriting it
- Crashes on startup: try switching the bottle's Synchronization from ESync to MSync, or vice versa
