Not coming until after launch: http://www.polygon.com/2014/6/10/5797756/driveclub-weather-rain-snow-update

It's so early, in fact, that it only exists on game director Paul Rustchynsky's laptop, which is running a PlayStation 4 development kit playing his personal build of the game.
I want that laptop!


Great news, this will be an awesome update.

Drizzle starts to appear on the Mercedes' hood, streaking its way toward the driver's seat. The skies darken. The roads get slicker. Within a minute, the dozen or so cars in DriveClub are battling not just each other but the elements in the downpour.

As the coupe banks into a turn, the game stops. Art director Alex Perkins, who's been behind the wheel, enters a special mode that frees the camera from the cab and lets it fly free through the world. He uses the opportunity to show just how detailed DriveClub's weather system is. Puddles are forming in the high grass off the road. The rocks that line the course are slick. Every taillight reflects in the asphalt, and tires eject a stream of mist above the roadway, just as they would in the real world.
