[drive] Driveclub 1.2.1 :Renault R.S. 01: Elite Driver, More

Update DRIVECLUB now to add the Renault R.S. 01, Sprint mode, Elite Driver Levels & more!



Evolution Studios may have applied brakes to the season pass, but DriveClub continues to evolve with the release of regular updates.

The latest 1.21 update brings with it a new game mode, more free cars and a host of further enhancements.

The addition of the new Sprint mode adds 12 new variations of existing tracks playable in Time Trial and Challenge modes to hone your skills.

Evolution Studios has now boosted the Elite driver levels from 66 to 75. Each new level comes with a reward - reach level 66 and you will unlock the Renault R.S. 01 concept car.

The Ferrari 488 GTB will also be added in DriveClub later this month as a free add-on.

Wheel users will also benefit from the update, as DriveClub now fully supports the Thrustmaster TH8PA manual gear shifter, meaning you can now play DriveClub with sequential gears and a clutch pedal for added realism.

Meanwhile, Evolution confirm that they are hard at work developing new tracks and implementing the long awaited private lobby system.

Here's the full update log for DriveClub v1.21, which weighs in at 533mb:
