I-play, a developer of mobile games, has scored themselves the official license to develop games with the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) branding. But why are we interested in this bit of news?

I'm sure we've all come across our fair bit of wacky console related news from around the world, bewildered at many of the crimes committed over such a relatively inexpensive and trivial piece of hardware.
