Big Driveclub Update Adds Weather and Two New Tracks

December 8, 2014

A new update is available for Driveclub which makes some dramatic additions and alterations to the once challenged game.

Weighing in at 1.4GB, Driveclub update 1.08 is a big deal, adding not only two new tracks, but a full weather system. The two tracks are Norway’s Atlanterhavsvegen and Canada’s Sinclair Pass, both of which are beautiful and perfect locations to test the new weather system that is capable of delivering heavy rain mid-race.

This patch arrives at the perfect time, just after Evolution Studios’ latest deployment of fixes for the game’s widespread server issues that have made important elements of the game like Challenges and Faceoffs unavailable for great lengths of time. Now’s the time to hop into Driveclub and see what it’s all about.

The following patch notes were posted on the DriveClub Facebook page:

New Features:

Adds weather to the game, for online and offline play.
Adds two new tracks, both including reverse variants: Atlanterhavsvegen in Norway and Sinclair Pass in Canada.

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.
