The weather update has breathed life into what I will say is quite a lifeless game without the rain unfortunately

Tried messaging you yesterday to say get your bum on and try the new update out but PSN messaging is still as bad as always and failed 3 times so gave up!!

Online the game still has it's issues but they're getting there and Driveclub is slowly becoming the game that Evolution first envisaged!!

My copy more than likely changed hands about 1000 times ".....Sorry they had there chance and blew it.....BIGTIME....

I have to say the rain effect looks very good, Especially when it's being pushed up the windscreen.

The funny thing is, it's caught between a sim and an arcade thrashabout. I know that was their vision, but it doesn't sit too well with me. The super and hyper cars (in fact to be fair, almost everything above the hot hatches) are particularly realistic to drive and require a lot of practice to master. Combined with people thrashing about treating it like it's a skid pan simulator, it becomes difficult to learn to race them competitively. They have promised private lobbies, that is when it will really become playable in my eyes. Until then I'll treat it as a thrashabout like all the other muppets.

Will definitely have to have a few races over crimbo Jorky, if you're about. Still haven't met up with Rebel yet. He's becoming somewhat of an enigma at oooosh racing. Adding tonnes of points to the club but never appearing to be online.

I don't know if he's one of the original Lost Boys or just nocturnal .

Some of it looks absolutely amazing Giraffe, but half the time it quickly becomes impossible to see where you are going at all.

So had a lot of fun with me knew best mate Jorky last night. He's a pretty awesome driver, a league above me anyway and at least three above Timey and Swanny, (a.k.a The Deserters). He doesn't use his teammates as a handbrake either, unlike some club members who will remain nameless. I reckon he won 75% of the races and didn't drop out of the top three once..

The sooner the private lobbies arrive the better, then all the T- boners will only have themselves to play with.

So that's 2 in the club....yourself and Jorkila......a whoopee [censored] Dooooooooo

I had to leave the club,you were given 2 weeks notice,Swanny wanted some help on his Farm and we had to get up really early as those Pigs,Cattle,Sheep needed feeding and we had lots of fields to sow .....

Ah cheers mate I'm touched, in fact I'm still sore (the things you have to do to be in this exclusive club)

On a serious note I'm sure Wednesday night was a fluke or beginners luck and not skill lol!!

Yeah it's so Exclusive there are only to dumb bells in it the wiser amongst us like Timey and Swanny saw it for what it was....A Epic Disaster and a frustrating one at that,they may well have fixed a lot of it but I ain't got the time patience to put up with any developer or publisher that sells TAT....

No mate, you've definitely got the skills to pay the bills.

I tried your challenge yesterday but only got to have two goes at it, since I didn't check it until there was only about half an hour until it expired. It is a difficult track that you need to learn a little, one wheel wrong and you're all over the place. That said, I was twenty odd seconds off your pace and doubt I could get closer than ten even with practice.

We are definitely not worthy my stig like friend.
