That's due to the PS4 file system, and it's totally normal:

For someone who is trying to be objective you come across more jaded than objective. Especially when you describe many aspects of the game, hard to see any one good thing be said. Those few good things you do say seem tacked on to save face. Also some of your complaints aren't really going toward trying to be objective and call out PD as a means for them to improve but rather subjectively complain. For example you claim the F50 sounds like an old Datsun (maybe you got confused with the Han Datsun in the same update), yet doing a quick comparison to what can be found it sounds nearly spot on.

I'm not sure what to think about the new Tokyo routes. The two layouts are for the most part fast-flowing, which is nice, but the scenery may be the coldest we've seen so far, especially in the daylight hours. The abandoned city vibe is unprecedented here. Not even the moving train compensates for the lifeless atmosphere. Though, it's better at night and there seems to be quite a few nods back to the classic SSR5 and SSR11 tracks.
I wouldn't go that far, but it's definitely not up there with the ones from September and November.

The PS4's file system (Orbis OS, based on FreeBSD, using the ZFS file system) - and the PS3's file system before it, which was pretty much the same - updates existing files by:
* Download update file into free space
* Write temporary version of original file in free space
* Apply update to temporary version of file
* Verify new file
* Write new file over original file
With game updates, the original file is the entire game install. Sometimes, it doesn't need to take the whole game - sometimes it can get away with only taking a 4GB block (in which case it will need 8GB + reserved space) - but typically anything that includes content and bug fixes will need to take the whole game. Ever wonder why the "Copying" takes longer than the download? It's because the PS4 is writing the entire game file to HDD twice.
In addition FreeBSD reserves 8% of any HDD by default. So that means that if you have a 500GB PS4 and are getting lucky with a narrow-focus update requiring only a 4GB block, you'll need 48GB of free space to apply an update. Or rather 46GB, as FreeBSD reports disk space differently.
On the bright side, it also means that the disk never gets fragmented, so there's that.

I'm pretty sure they are not. Driveclub models weren't created with tessellation in mind. Plus, PD would be too anal about using models from another developer's game that's 4 years old now. They started outsourcing, but according to the outsource employee who's been public, PD has been training them to keep up with their high standards which he said was challenging.

After one race on the new track in the GT-R event in the Beginner League, I like it. The scenery's better in the night-time setting than the other Tokyos, although they should still be GT3 SSR5-esque. Can't wait to see what sort of penalties happen online over the chicane on the back straight.

I absolutely appreciate the support PD are showing the game, I really do. I just wish they'd poke their heads up a bit, there's SO MUCH potential that is locked away in this game.
- A new street track is really not what we need, surely there are some B-Level real tracks that won't want a fortune to model (like Oschersleben for e.g)
- Utilising the A weekly race or even the B one to introduce low powered race cars, like 4 pot touring cars or the Ginetta Group 5 for example
- As above but utilising supercars, F40 or F50 for example, why these crappy N300 cars that slide all over the place?
Just feels like there's a ton of easy pickings they are not exploiting and are leaving room for other games to survive when they could about kill them off.

You're acting as if the roster of tracks is mostly street-based, which is clearly not the case. They've also been adding real circuits. Prior to today, the last 3 updates have featured actual circuits (Red Bull Ring, Fuji Speedway, and Catalunya). And I'm sure we'll continue to get more of those in future updates.

Is the HUD option in the cockpit available with this update? Was shown in the Hot Lap video for the new circuit few days ago.
