Driveclub update 1.08 released; full patch notes here

Dynamic weather, two new tracks, and tons of improvements

Driveclub game update 1.08 has been released and is now available for download. "It's a big one," Evolution Studios warns of the 1.4GB update which includes dynamic weather, two new tracks, and "lots more improvements based on you feedback."

The big feature in this update is, of course, extreme weather. Update 1.08 brings thunderstorms, blizzards, and everything in between. It also includes the two new tracks: Atlanterhavsvegen in Norway and Sinclair Pass in Canada. Of course, there are tons of other improvements and even elements that prepare for future add-ons — all of which are detailed in the full patch notes below:
