Is rubbish because it did nothing since the last teaser, production wise, has been showing nearly the same thing all around, wanna see why?
This is a series of trailer segments were released during GamesCom - 2013, featuring the same scenarios, most of the same cars and same tracks, the only difference with it were some of the environmental effects, which were already teased some time in march by the FB feed.
Same graphic quality, by this point other games would have shown way more content (in a space frame of 8 months most racing games show off what they could offer in total, or the progress they have made during production, FM5 teasers showed this, so do teasers for GT6, The Crew, and so on).
The only significant difference from what has been shown is proper licenses like Ferrari, other than that is pretty much what we have seen thus far, the same tracks and the same content over and over again with no sense of more content actually being developed.

There's also
Zonda R (the latter models)
And the V12 Vantage (not the S version though, apparently)

That still doesn't make it rubbish though, just them playing it close to the chest. Maybe they don't want to release too much info and leave the majority as a surprise for release. I mean Shuhei Yoshida mentioned on the blog that the game is attempting something no other racer has until now, hence the delay. I can see why they might want to keep the anticipation lebels up, especially after such a delay.

Nearly.
My point is, the game was announced in Q2-2013, since then they have showcased the same series of Tracks and cars. Since it's announcement there has been an alarming lack of content to show, take for example what was shown in gamescom, then what was shown a few months back and what is been shown now.
Is an space of about 9 months, in which no new content has been shown, same Atacama Desert track, same Alps track, same Scotland track, same Night/Day transition in Atacama, the only difference is the cloud effects that were somehow teased in the FB feed.
Any other racing game in development shows more and more content as time goes by, in an space of 9 months you could expect to see at least 1 or 2 more scenarios added as development goes, what is shown thus far seems to only show some degree of stagnation during the production process.
The game looks undeniably gorgeous, however is the same stuff that we have seen time and time again, and that just suggest that production halted, then a restructure occurred and then production started again. My gripe with is not the amount of content but the delays it's got vs what is actually being produced at this point.
Is approximately 6 months to release date, no idea what kind of stuff they are producing but it seems that they are stagnating with assets, other game have show more to offer in a smaller time frame, and given that it was to be a PS4 release title, one could expect at least more things to show rather than the same thing everyone has already seen over and over again.
I could wait for E3 and see if it gets better, but P-Cars, The Crew and other titles have dwindle my interest for it, no decent racers for the PS4 and a delay for the only interesting title in the PS4 release schedule(that and Killzone Shadowfall) should have better things to offer to make up for all the production backdrops, rather than a release date and the same content to show over again.

Might we see something new at E3? I'd start then and afterwards for new stuff if I was releasing the game in October.
Good News
PS plus free edition is still coming and will launch same time as the full game.

More details from today
Driveclub runs at 30fps
Photomode is being worked on
PS plus with have 5 tracks from one country and 10 cars. Access to all online and offline features
So we need to storm Logitech
Delay was suppose to be about the dynamic menu system. its a key part of the connected world and graphic improvements.

Oddly enough, I just read this article: http://www.polygon.com/2014/5/5/5684268/the-last-of-us-ui-changes-naughty-dog where Naughty Dog went through a number of UI changes in eight months for TLoU - so maybe not so rare

We should get new footage by the end of the week.
Some news about the PS+ edition.
Well, 55 track + 50 or so cars is not a bad number, that said it will be down to the driving model and the game itself that I'll be encouraged to buy the full version.
My money is on The Crew though, if this is worth some investment then an investment will be done, otherwise there are several games in that time frame that has stolen my interest for it.
Can't object against the free aspect of it (considering that FM5 charge a buck for a car and like 15 tracks, whole package is nearly 100 USD, which is stupid), this is actually far more consumer oriented than a repetitive rip-off that people seem to encourage these days. HOWEVER they better have a decent gameplay mode, if they do they will win my buck, otherwise there is no much point on investing in it.

People should know that if you buy the PS+ full game for the $10 discount you lose access if you stop PS+. Probably should stick to retail.
What happens in a few weeks/months when the retail is, at least in the UK much cheaper. The already tiny discount is wiped out.
My efforts over the last decade stopping people typing loose when they mean lose has failed.

I was talking about the full version.
Also, yep .. since it's something like an MMO I can see how can you loose access to it when you upgrade it from the Plus edition. That said is a pretty stupid marketing move, people will just go ahead and buy the retail, however that solely depends on how the game itself turns out to be (either like NFS Pro Street kind of events with a social focus, or some sort of friend based.events MMO).
