It's true, the buggy is on the HK store. I purchased it, but it doesn't work with my UK version. Maybe we'll get it later today with the regular store update.
It's true, here's the link to the Buggy:

Thanks to all for the positive comments! Yup, I saw the HUD after I finished the editing and since I did all this last night in bed with my wife trying to sleep I didn't want to risk taking more time fixing that 😄. I made the video using theiMovie app on the MacBook.

While I do agree with many of your points Ted, for me the game is simply greater than the sum of it's parts. The fun and adrenaline kick it gives me has made this a game that I can forgive it's shortcomings and can't stop playing - and I have faith in Evo that they will endeavour to deliver what we request and continue to improve the game.

It's hard to judge but I think Twin Peaks will take "average" drivers, let alone racing first-timers more then just a few tries to get that final star.
I disagree that event has already been beat by over 12 seconds that is hardly difficult, in talking about venom hot lap type events we need at least 1 event every dlc like that, these are just far to easy in my view.
fake i guess ? ( asian store they say, from reddit )

IMO this is the best video I've seen on Youtube covering the Huracan in Driveclub

ARGH that Motorstorm buggy. All they need to do is add like four more vehicles and a new location to choose simply called Motorstorm, with six (?) off-road style tracks based on each of the game's main locations (a Japan off-road track, Canada track, Norway track, etc.). Add in a Motorstorm Series set of events, sell the whole pack for $7.99, and we will all rejoice.

I've known about it since before the game was even released, I doubt they plan that far in advance

If I log in with my Japanese account and grab the buggy from the store, can I use it in Driveclub ?

I'm back from a long "vacation." Some things I learned: Do not ever go in religious threads, or Christmas threads, or Christmas threads mixed with religion. Just. Don't.
I think I have hit the ceiling on my driving abilities, but this game still has its hooks in me. Finally hit plat, completed 585/585 (yes, I know it's 675, so really I'm 633/675), and am at level 50, club level 40. I cannot stop playing...
I don't appreciate being a part of your troll video.

Hum , this set of events in multiplayer is kinda annoying .. people have a choice between time trials races that are not that popular despite their novelty and team race with the new cars ...when most people don't play as a team and people who enjoy team races ( like i do ) are stuck with a bunch of people that don't care.
Just ...add some normal races lobbies so that the morons that want to fight can fight by themselves.

Oh, it's you, welcome back
Man, you are too fast-- I think I may have beat you once during all the races we have been in.

I doubt it, i tried downloading the HK version and that didn't work with my UK version.
Yikes.
Say, does any of you guys speak french?
There's this player named renault74, who i noticed is often at the top of the leaderboards on drift challenges. I was working up my way through the ranks on an Ariel Atom drift challenge on Tamil Nadu 02 and noticed what is happening often lately, the top scorer can pull 6000-7000 in one corner (in this case 6300 in the last one, which is fairly short), while no matter what i try, i can never get above 3000. So i have sent him a message, asking for advice on how to improve my score on that corner. Unfortunately it turned out that he doesn't speak English, after which i have used google translate to ask him in french. This is what he replied to me:
I understand the part about starting the drift early and the bit about coming in with a lot of speed, but i don't quite get the middle part, thanks to google's spotty translation. I guess he is telling me how to approach the corner.
Looking at his ghost, he doesn't even drift at a steep angle, i'm at a loss at how you can pull numbers like that. I'm not even mad, like when people would just continue their drifts until they hit a barrier, i just want to understand how scoring works, so i can work on improving my technique. If anyone wants to check it out, he's holding the overall top spot on Tamil Nadu 02 with the Venom, as well as the Ariel Atom top spot (and probably more).
Edit:
Yes, they said a (player?) level increase is coming though.

I'm french .
the sentence is :
"Faut commence t'on drift beaucoup plus tôt, lance le tout de suit après le premier virage à droite, avec beaucoup de vitesse."
"You need to start drifting much earlier, right after the first corner get momentum with a lot of speed"
Well with the latest drift changes its all about speed now, angle of the drift doesn't really seem to matter all that much, as long as you can take it really fast.
You must start drifting much earlier, immediately after passing the first right corner, with a lot of speed.
Damn, beaten by R_thanatos.

OK, thanks guys. Sounds easy enough, haha. I still don't get it, it's not like i don't try to come in with as much speed as possible and start the drift early, but going from 3000 to 6300 is quite a difference.
I did have the same problem on the Pacific Drift Lotus challenge in the Pacesetter tour last night though. I was in a close 2nd place, but just couldn't beat the number one guy. I would match or beat him in all but one corner, which was the very first one. I would try to do nice clean drifts, but couldn't get over 2000, while he hit the barrier hard and got 3000. Somehow after countless tries i managed to hit it just right and got around 2500, while also hitting the barrier (i also got 2700 once, but messed up the rest of the run) and went on to take the number one spot worldwide. Of course it wasn't meant to last long, but it was still a proud moment, hehe.
Anyway, i just want to understand how this works, so i can pull it off more consistently.

Nah, it was more then that. I just had a good day that one time.
Is that middle one indicative of proper lighting through smoke? Holy crap if so!

A quick question for you guys- I just picked up DC yesterday and I'm enjoying it but the audio seems off to me. I don't get any audible indication of cars behind me from any of my back speakers. I do hear it when they crash in to me however. Is there a setting I missed or is this just how it is?

Bought this a few days ago at Gamestop. I was never a racing fan but I wanted to try and there's something about this game that makes me want to keep learning and keep playing.
I can't drift at all, lol, but i'll be working on that.
Pretty damn fun game. Maybe one of these days i'll start/join a club. Just don't expect any amazing runs by me, haha.

Join a club straight away. You don't have to be good, at all. You'll benefit the club by getting experience, on top of which you'll have more club cars unlocked yourself. The Golf GTI, BAC Mono and Zonda R are all awesome cars that are unlocked by club level.

Hehe welcome back bud
Which is why I wrote "troll video." Anyway, the day of out-racing you is over, as you now have access to the Lambos. Notice it was only the Lambo/RUF races where I smoked you...
Oh, and fix your damn microphone.

To be fair, you'd notice the same in the street, too.
I don't think they're that great
Veneno is not competitive enough from what I've tried of it. Though far better than that Onyx junk.To be fair, you'd notice the same in the street, too.

Really? I managed a better lap time on Goshodaira with the Veneno than I did with the P1 or Zonda R. Naturally the One:1 will still handily top it.
