Can't believe no one's mentioned this! - http://store.steampowered.com/app/310560/
Codemasters has released - in Steam's "early access" currently - DiRT Rally. They've evidently listened to everyone that wants CM2.0.... 2.0. It's getting very positive feedback for those exact reasons. It's hardcore. Narrow courses, pace notes, repairs between stations... and for an early access game it's being reported that it's extremely polished.
I may have to purchase this once I get my new gaming rig built
