I know it's opinions and all.......

But how is it easier?!?!, not only is is dark, on a track with minimum lighting, it's pissing it down with rain!!!, I guess you just need to be very familiar with the track, but I fail to see how, in anyway, it's easier :D

Just practice the same track in the dry with the same car till you can do it blindfolded. ;-)

How about putting some extra sun glare in that pagani kyle challenge Vagabone? It seems like it is lacking a bit.

You know I was just getting over my burnt retinas too...

Can't watch the video yet but I'm assuming the caterham is in the super class?
263 hp, 1100 pounds, 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. This car is gonna be very similar to the bac mono. Makes the choice for the enzo in hyper even more baffling....

Well I had my first crash as in the game literally crashed, just got across the finish line with a really decent time and then it crash's straight to the xmb menu, loses all the data the time and the score. Really annoying, consoles are as reliable as pc's now it seems.

I wouldn't say that, I've played the game pretty much every day since launch and had 1 crash to the xmb in all that time. It's frustrating when it happens but it's very rare in my experience.

When I have the Driveclub-GAF account added do I need to go ahead and add folks from its friends list or does just having that account added give me the goods?

I love The Kyle, first time I raced on it I got NFS 3DO flashbacks.

I read people talking about it on here after the weather update and realized I wasn't familiar at all with the course.
And seeing the stats of distance driven was really eye opening.

Now The Kyle in reverse is one of my favorites for sure. Great trakc. Love racing it in the morning sun-rise.
 
Ugh, finally made it to Punching Above Your Weight. This Bentley is soooooo sloooooooowww
>_< how the hell does anyone get first when it's so damn slow compared to the others on the track?

You gotta play rough. You need to use your weight to your advantage and nudge cars around when you can. Try to overtake 1 car at every slow turn and work your way up

Man, online is dead during US times sheesh.
Wish I was in Europe.

Luckily we still have the PS+ edition to come which will bring in a whole bunch of new players. I'll probably play a lot of online then and
hopefully
beat up on all the new players.

I'm not sure which way is reverse but I like the one with the little town and long bridges at the end.

Anyone got spare thumbs? I can't feel mine

I have more problem with my index finger on the throttle after a while lol. Otherwise check kie25's video i posted to get an idea of how to become first on the global leaderboard of the Venom Hot Lap 2.

Hey Driveclub-GAF, I couldn't resist the 25 euro deal on PSN and I'm wondering if it is necessary to join a club. What exactly does a club do and if it's really important is there a EU-GAF club?

First two corners, the last chicane and the last corner are the most important parts to nail, the ghost is quick here.

There is also a series of three turns that you really need to hit just right and take as one to get the most out of it, and, the last tight corner preceding the final chicane is well worth taking slow to gain the fastest exit and the fastest amount of speed through the last chicane.

Just IMO of course, but that's how I did it.

No, but you will miss out on a few cars as they're unlocked based on club level.

If you just join a random club it isn't going to interfere with anything you want to do on your own and you'll get access to the cars they've unlocked.

There are a number of club specific cars, that are tied to club levels, if you aren't in a club, you won't get a chance to use them.

Thanks for the info! Then I'll push a random club :D

My game crashed just before the finish line on a track in Chile, just as the fireworks started exploding.

Come on, how many hours have you put into the game?

I had the same happening once so far in about 30-35h playtime.

I did that last night, as someone else already said, don't be afraid of using the other cars to get around corners, you're slow but heavy as shit.

Well as long as it doesnt happen again, its fine but many games function without crash's at all even on the pc. It shouldn't be happening on a console.

For some reason I kept losing control in the last corner. There were times when I got ahead of the ghost even before the last corner and all I needed was to power through. Kept doing something really stupid. Will try again sometime today

That's pressure for you, I hate challenges with tricky last bends cos if your ahead you can't help but think "don't mess up that last bend" and of course you do :-(
 
I finally learned to play without the HUD. But I honestly wish there was *something* on the screen to notify me when I beat the challenges. I know there is a sound, but that goes usually unnoticed by me :(

I've sent out a challenge to most of you, could some of you have a crack at it so I can get my platinum? (It's bugged so probably won't work)

Thanks, you two. I've just been having trouble keeping up with the cars since I always seem to start the race near the back. I'll keep trying, though! :)
