News DriveClub v1.18 update confirms June car DLC line-up, adds new Driver Levels and more

The latest DriveClub update has deployed bringing the game up to v1.18 update, adding a host of notable improvements and game features whilst paving the way for this month's helping of delicious DLC. 

As promised, Evolution have extended the Driver Levels for longtime players who have clocked up a lot of miles in the eight months since DriveClub launched. It was previously locked to Level 50, but now you can reach Level 60 and earn a reward with each new level. 

All cars and locations now have a full set of accolades, and DriveClub also now supports the upcoming Logitech G29 wheel.

Evolution have also now confirmed the full list of extra cars included in this month's RPM Expansion Pack out June 30th: along with the already-announced Nissan GT-R and Dodge Challenger SRT8 392, DriveClub players can look forward to driving the Nissan 370Z Nismo, McLaren 570S, Chevrolet Corvette Z06 2015. The Nissan 370Z has been previewed in the latest official video below.

All-in-all, another varied car pack that adds some extra American muscle along with the introduction of Nissan; DriveClub's first Japanese manufacturer. But once again, did we need yet another Corvette? It's safe to say Chevrolet have hogged DriveClub's car packs – we've now had not one, not two, not three, but four near-identical Corvettes appear in DriveClub's DLC packs.

Here's the full list of changes and updates in DriveClub's v1.18 patch, which weighs in at 420mb.

» Adds new Driver Levels: You can now reach Level 60 and every new level has a reward!

» Adds support for the new Logitech G29 Driving wheel.

» Adds an option to toggle Ghosts by using Left on the D-Pad.

» Challenge improvements: Adds a convenient preview of your current score and standing in every Challenge (so that you don't have to go into every Leaderboard to see if you played and what your current position is).

» Car improvements: We've fixed an audio bug affecting the quality of the Lamborghini Murcielago engine sound.

» Adds a new loading image to show off one of our favourite ‪#‎PS4share‬pictures.

Update 1.18 Add-ons will be available for download from PlayStation®Store on June 30 worldwide:

» Adds support for the Peugeot EX1 Concept (download from PlayStation®Store).

» The Velocity Tour Pack includes 11 new Events and 5 new Trophies.

» Adds support for two new livery packs coming to PlayStation®Store. Each Livery Pack contains 5 new livery patterns to customise your cars with.

Important developments to be aware of (coming after 1.18):

» More server upgrades and optimsations: We continue to improve server performance for all players as we prepare to launch the PS Plus Edition of DRIVECLUB and then subsequently launch the DRIVECLUB companion app.

» Club Challenge improvements: After the recent Challenge server upgrades we are working on bigger rewards for Club Challenges along with improved Leaderboard presentation. 

» More Cars & Tours: There's still more packs coming for the Season Pass and we're excited to show you more of what's coming in June & July!
