A new ‘Sprint’ mode is coming to DriveClub this week, Evolution has announced – although we don’t yet know exactly what it is.
Sprint will be joined a variety of new track variants and a brand new car, the Renault Sport R.S. 01, which will be available to players who reach Elite Driver Level 66.
12 Sprint tracks are set to roll out by the end of August, with additional tracks rolling out month-on-month.
Full details on Sprint mode are expected to be revealed once the patch notes for Game Update 1.21 are released later this week.
In the meantime, though, if you want to take an early look at the new car racing around 6 of the new Sprint mode tracks, check out the video below.
