Evolution Studios has been working hard on trying to give players the full experience of DriveClub as well as fixing the seemingly never ending online connection issues, which seem to be getting gradually better as the days go by. Their latest update 1.07 is bringing a lot of new features, including Photo Mode and preparation for forthcoming DLC.  DriveClub owners that showed faith by purchasing the game and sticking by the developers during this testing time will also be gifted two Premium DLC packs as an apology from Sony and Evolution Studios.  The two free in question are the Ignition Car Pack and the Ignition Tour Pack.

This is what update 1.07 is bringing to DriveClub:

  • Adds Photo Mode to the game. You can enable Photo Mode during gameplay by pressing the right side of the Touch Pad and share your favourite pictures with the Share button.
  • Adds three new tracks – all including reverse variants: Yedapalli in India, Los Pelambres in Chile and Wester Ross in Scotland.
  • Adds support for the Renault DeZir DRIVECLUB™ Edition and BMW M5, 2013 to PlayStation®Store (available as free download to full game owners from Nov 25-SCEA, 26-SCEE, 27-SCEJ).
  • Adds support for the Ignition Expansion Pack – which includes the Ignition Car Pack and Ignition Tour Pack – to PlayStation®Store (free download available from Nov 25th-North America, 26th-Europe, 27th-Japan).

Below are the details as to what exactly you’ll be getting in each of the DLC packs:
The Ignition Car Pack includes 5 new cars: 

  • W Motors Lykan Hypersport
  • Caterham SP/ 300.R

Each Livery Pack contains 5 new livery patterns to customise your cars with.

  • Changes have been made to corner cutting, corner penalties & collision penalties for balancing purposes.
  • Improves the Server Announcements functionality and implements a restyled screen.
  • Adds the ability to manually trigger reset-to-track by pressing the left side of the Touch Pad.

  • Adds the ability to search for a Club by name when sending a Club Challenge.
  • Plus a number of minor bug fixes, performance improvements and usability tweaks.

Sadly, even with these updates and improvements players are still having connectivity issues with DriveClub’s online. The Playstation Plus Edition still doesn’t have a release date either. Evolution Studios however are continually doing their best to give back to the fans that purchased the title by giving all owners of DriveClub premium DLC packs for free. This includes,   As detailed above, The Ignition Expansion Pack and Photo-Finish Tour Pack (which is included in this 1.07 update) which will give you a total of five new cars, 22 new tour events, 10 new trophies and 10 new livery items to play with online and offline, along with two livery packs

Season pass holders will also gain some extra content, as they will receive the same content as promised along with four additional packs. That means season pass holders will have 38 cars, 176 tour events, and 80 unique liveries on top of the now-free November DLC.  If you are still on the fence about getting DriveClub make sure you check out our review.
