Big update on 26.5

From Steam:
It seems like forever ago when we pushed the button and
surprised the world with DiRT Rally. To everybody reading this
screen we can’t thank you enough. Today we're really please to
be able to push the button on our first big update, the Pikes
Peak Pack which is available now and included in DiRT Rally no
extra cost. It should start downloading the next time you log
into Steam but if it just so happens that you don't own a copy
of DiRT Rally yet you can purchase it on Steam right here.

Here’s a brief rundown of what we’ve added in v0.4
The world famous Pikes Peak - Built from the ground up in its
full fat modern tarmac state (the first time in a video game)
and the mixed surface variant we all grew up loving. We’ve also
included a variety of weather conditions and three iconic
Hillclimb cars to add to your garage.
You’ll find that we’ve rolled Hillclimb into our Championship
mode, it will crop up from time to time in our Online Events and
you’ll now be able to select it in Custom Events and add it to
your Leagues.
That’s not all though, we’ve also made some improvements and
additions to the rest of the game including.
Some of our AI drivers have got fed up with watching you driving
so well so expect some of them to start trying to rival your
performances and give you more of a run for your money.
A few changes in the UI where we’ve labelled the stages in
custom events 'Long' and 'Sprint', new players will see little
pop up tutorials on first visit to each game mode (don’t worry
they aren’t unskippable videos). We’ve also added some new
messages in other areas of the game so you know what’s going on.
We’ve changed how your engineer slots unlock so that they now
pop based on distance driven rather than cold, in-game cash. If
you’ve already blown a load of cash on those slots... Sorry!
Custom Events will now use the fully upgraded versions of a car
rather than the poor man’s version and we’ve made sure that your
favourite livery will be stored for the next event.
We’ve also added in some new liveries including the Rallysport
Development wrap for the Fiat 131 Abarth, the Peugeot Sport
livery for the Peugeot 205 T16 Evo 2 and the Phil Collins Rally
livery for the Ford Escort Mk II. Teams like these were kind
enough to give us access to their awesome machines during
development and without these guys and the rest of the rally
scene here in the UK, DiRT Rally wouldn’t be the game it is.
On behalf of everybody at Codemasters thank you to those awesome
rally folks and a huge thank you to you for playing.
