DiRT Rally 2.0: H2 RWD Double Pack

The H2 RWD Double Pack DLC for DiRT Rally 2.0 was developed by Codemasters and released on March 12, 2019. It was published by Codemasters in partnership with Electronic Arts, following EA’s acquisition of the studio. This DLC adds two classic rear-wheel drive rally cars to the game: the Fiat 131 Abarth Rally and the Alpine Renault A110 1600 S. Both vehicles belong to the H2 RWD class, offering players a vintage rally experience with distinct handling and performance characteristics.

The Fiat 131 Abarth Rally is known for its boxy design and rally pedigree from the late 1970s, while the Alpine Renault A110 1600 S is a lightweight, agile car that dominated European rally circuits in the early 1970s. These cars are available for early unlock through the DLC, allowing players to access them sooner in their career progression. Each vehicle brings its own driving style, suited for different terrain types and racing strategies, enriching the game’s historical lineup.

Promotion for the H2 RWD Double Pack was part of Codemasters’ ongoing content rollout for DiRT Rally 2.0. The DLC was announced through Steam updates, social media posts, and community forums, often alongside other content drops. Codemasters highlighted the nostalgic appeal of the two cars and their significance in rally history, using screenshots and brief descriptions to showcase their design and performance.

Reception to the DLC was generally positive among fans of classic rally cars. Players appreciated the opportunity to drive two iconic vehicles from rallying’s golden era, and the cars were praised for their authentic handling within the game’s physics engine. While the DLC didn’t introduce new gameplay mechanics, its historical value and solid integration into the game’s vehicle roster made it a welcome addition for both casual players and rally enthusiasts.
