Season Pass and PS Plus

Players who have purchased the Season Pass will not be getting less content, Evolution Studios have said:

The Season Pass will be extended to include four extra packs in July 2015 to ensure players who purchased the pass get everything that was promised. So on top of the free DLC in November, the Season Pass will still include 38 cars, 176 tour events and 80 unique liveries.

And commenting on the PS Plus Edition of Driveclub:

Although currently we do not have an update regarding the timing for the launch of the PS Plus Edition, we are continually working on improving the server capacity to enable us to launch the PS Plus Edition as quickly as possible.

The free DLC packs, The Ignition Expansion Pack and the Photo-Finish Tour Pack are expected to come out on 25th November in North America, 26th November in Europe and the 27th November in Japan.
