The latest update for Driveclub is now live and includes a number of tweaks and perks, not least of which is a new drift scoring mode. Here are the patch notes:
- New Drift Mode scoring: Fast and precise drifts now earn much bigger scores. Going off track, driving slowly or colliding with walls will result in a penalty to prevent exploits.
- All Drift Mode leaderboards will be reset in the days following the update to ensure they offer a level playing field.
- 25 new Elite Levels have been added (new cap is 60).
- 25 new Driver Levels have been added (new cap is 120) with new livery rewards to unlock along the way.
- 35 new Club Levels have been added (new cap is 120) with new livery rewards to unlock along the way.
- The game menus have been updated with new #PS4share imagery to showcase some of our most loved #PS4share photo mode snaps. Keep them coming!
- The loading screen for DRIVECLUB now shows off an awesome new #PS4share community photo collage made up of thousands of your pictures.
- The loading screen for DRIVECLUB BIKES also shows off an awesome new #PS4share community photo collage made up of thousands of your pictures.
- Includes general improvements for game performance, stability and usability.
There will be a second update on March 22nd which includes a free motorcycle.
- Free Superbike for everybody: Aprilia RSV4 RF ABS.

Sounds good! Not sure the drifting is up to the likes of Grid, which was way more fun, but it’s still a laugh. Looking forward to trying the bike, what a great way to get people to buy the expansion.

Not a fan of the new drift mode, you can loose your drift points just by turning around, it’s a bit too unforgiving.

Drifting is not my forte but i’m up for any potential extra points i might achieve by fluke.

Fair play, this is a well supported game. If it wasn’t for the launch issues this would have been rightly heralded as one of PS4’s best games.
As it is, I get the feeling it’s been overlooked.

Another load of elite levels, great, just what I need. I’ve been stuck on level 25 for about 2 weeks.
But seriously, the support for this game is brilliant. Well done Evolution ;)

The support for the game is phenomenal but I still keep getting the red sentenced ‘disconnected from servers so scores/times will not be registered to current online leaderboards’ or words along those lines ballyhoo.
