It's definitely not going to be hit in the US, which is a darn shame. If Evolution makes a Driveclub 2, the 2nd iteration might do better. By then, consumers will have a positive expectation for the 2nd game in contrast to not having any expectations for the first.
The only way I can see Driveclub taking off is if consumers are very impressed with the PS+ version that they get the full game and/or the game gets critically acclaimed reviews. I highly doubt the latter will happen because considering how mediocre gaming journalism has been, lots of points will be docked off for the silliest of reasons.
