It’s yet another busy month for new content in DriveClub, with Evolution Studios confirming the release of update 1.12 for next week, while the Lamborghini Expansion Pack and other DLC arrives on March 24 – 26, depending on your region.
Featuring single player replay, improved visual effects, and more, here’s what to expect in update 1.12:

- Refines Drift Mode scoring to increase the points scored for momentum, control and staying on the track.

- Adds the option to control screen brightness in-game (new Display Option).
- Adds the option to change the volume levels on individual SFX channels (new Audio options in Settings).

- Includes more minor bug fixes, performance improvements and usability tweaks.
