Developer Evolution Studios just announced that the long awaited private lobbies, are heading to Driveclub early November. The PS4 racer will also be receiving a braking assist option and more accolades. There are more updates on their way, but those will be revealed later.
Game director Paul Rustchynsky confirmed this on Twitter earlier today. Back in September, Rustchynsky already announced that private lobbies will be arriving this year. The feature has long been talked about, and from the looks of it, players will finally be able to enjoy the feature in a few weeks.
Multiplayer: Private Lobbies are coming to #DRIVECLUB early in Nov, offering full control over multiplayer events with custom settings.

Private lobbies will follow after the 'big' October update that Rustchynsky confirmed earlier. The game director took the time to reveal some nice details concerning that update. A breaking assist option will be implemented in Driveclub. According to Rustchynsky, this option will help with breaking & cornering points. The game director adds that difficulty options are being worked on as well.
Difficulty: To help beginners get into #DRIVECLUB, we're developing a braking assist option that will help with cornering & braking points.

To clarify, the new braking assist is optional, adjustable & offers no competitive advantage. It's just there to help players who struggle.

The game director went on to confirm that more driver & club accolades are on their way as well. Those who earn them, will get rewarded with very generous Fame Rewards.
