DriveClub Update Adds Dynamic Weather & Two Tracks
A storm is coming to DriveClub, and it has nothing to do with the fallout from the game's launch. The 1.08 update (weighing 1.4GB) is out, and it adds dynamic weather, two new tracks, and other improvements.
The two new tracks are reverse variants for Atlanterhavsvegen (Norway) and Sinclair Pass (Canada).
Last week, the studio also said on its Facebook page that it was continuing to work on the game's server performance, which would then allow for the PlayStation Plus edition of the game and companion app.
Here's also a list of improvements via the 1.08 update and what's on the slate for the rest of the year (straight from Evolution Studios).
Improvements:
- Adds the option to configure throttle/brake controls onto up/down on right stick.
- Adds the ability to access Club Cars when offline.
- Adds the ability to access Club Paint Jobs when offline.
- Adds track maps and stats to each track card in Single Event.
- Adds player statistics to various panels within Single Event and Challenges.
- Includes more minor bug fixes, performance improvements, and usability tweaks.
Add-ons (coming later in December):
- Adds support for the Mazzanti Evantra, coming to PlayStation Store as a free download later in December.
- Adds support for the Redline Expansion Pack, coming to PlayStation Store as a premium download later in December. This Expansion Pack includes the Redline Car Pack and Redline Tour Pack.
- The Redline Car Pack includes five new cars: Mercedes SLS AMG E-Drive, McLaren F1 LM, Renault Alpine A110-50, Ferrari 458 Speciale, and Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
- The Redline Tour Pack includes 11 new Events and five new Trophies.
- Adds support for the Elements Tour Pack, coming to PlayStation Store as a premium download later in December.
- The Elements Tour Pack includes 11 new Events and five new Trophies.

Our Take
I understand people's anger about the free PlayStation Plus version not being out yet, but I hope when it does release people give it a fair shake and not just use it as a way to reaffirm existing negative beef.
