DiRT Rally World RX Update

DiRT Rally World RX Update
At the start of last month we announced our partnership with the FIA World Rallycross Championship and today we’re pleased to release the first of two new World RX updates which will bring the world’s fastest growing motorsport to DiRT Rally.
V.0.6 more commonly known as the World RX Update is now live and we’re really excited to be working with the team at the FIA World Rallycross to bring you a choice selection of drivers, cars and some of the best circuits in the calendar.
Here’s the tl;dr list of what we’ve added, changed and tweaked in this month’s update:

• Embark on a new World RX Career and Custom Events
• Two new circuits, Höljes, Sweden and Lydden Hill, England both with three routes each
• Official FIA Rallycross Championship drivers, cars and liveries
• Anti-cheat stuff which will stop the small few from messing up our leaderboards. Our next step is to tell your mum you’ve been cheating – don’t say we didn’t warn you
• Ability to identify your device as a wheel if you own one which isn’t supported yet
• A brand new DiRT Daily Event type where you’ll be competing against the community Delta
• Ability to repair a puncture mid-stage
• Ability to remove the drivers arms without causing him to bleedout
• Now have the ability to return the wheel back to zero degrees when your car is reset
  

This is just the first of our World RX packs; in the next one we’ll be adding a new track, new cars and online competitive play. Until then be sure to check out fiaworldrallycross.com for more info about this awesome motorsport.

Here’s the full list of everything else we’ve changed, fixed and made better:
