Yes you keep it. Nothing confusing about it. I think it even says so in the description of it.
This is BULLSHIT. I just launched it up and I can't connect either. And this is on day 3. Absolutely ridiculous.. I bought DriveCLUB and not Drivealone
Side note, I think this may be one of the nicest steelbooks I now own. Just gorgeous!
That is really nice and impacting. Publishers really should take a chance with those sort of artistic covers for regular retail editions. I guess Paradise's cover was a once in a lifetime thing.

Wow, the BMW M3 (? I think) handles like a dream, doing so much better in the performance class than I could manage with the Vanquish or Exige. I love the mph counter on it too, so cool.
And what are some general tips on drifting and just turning in general? From what I've gathered for turning, brake slightly before entering the corner, turn the wheel without accelerating, then as soon as you're straightened out accelerate as fast as you think you can without losing control. Is that the gist of it?

Aight, tempted to buy it. It's 40 euro's on PSN, and the cheapest I've seen in store is 55 euro's. So i'd be saving 15. So tempting...

Not even connected, let alone able to race.
Also I feel like I can't even go back to get 3/3 on all of the rookie tracks because the GTI seems miles better than anything else, at the very least it outclasses it for the Volkswagen challenges.

Yeah, do most of your braking before you enter the corner, then once you've hit the apex (the 'tip' of the corner) you can begin to build your speed up, once you're nice and straight you can put the foot to the floor.
Awesome !

So I got it last night in the UK, preload, all worked, unlocked at midnight. Couldn't connect until this afternoon though, currently connected and I made a club - can't get anyone in it though because no-one else is connected. This is the most annoyed I've ever been with an online failure because it's not Driveclub right now, it's just Drive, this and the weather already coming later just make me think they should have waited and released with the weather patch, surely a cock up of this magnitude came with a warning on their end. I can't even download my preorder bonuses.
The game itself though is fantastic, love the handling and it's very pretty, a few jaggies I'm sure will be resolved with patches but definitely one of the nicest looking games I've ever played.

Got the game on Wednesday and played for a few hours. Out of town with the wife and kids until late Sunday evening. Hope the servers get sorted by then. Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed.

Played one event last night. That's all I wanted to do, since the servers were still down. That said, the game is so classy. You can tell so much was put into the little details of the cars - how they look, sound, drive, etc. Environments too. I think this is my favorite cockpit view in any racer I've played.

And what happened to Rapier? I haven't seen him in this thread since the game launched =\
One frustrating thing is during a championship, you can't restart a round after the last race. So if you're chasing a lap time in the last race, you can easily get caught out and have to redo the whole championship. The first lap isn't usually a fast one because it is a standing start, and the second lap is too late to restart unless it is obvious you'll miss the time.
I could have nailed the landing better, I suppose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PmjzFrQhn-I

Did they fix the network? I've logged on and got on early this morning and had a few races. Log on about 40 minutes ago and got on the network with ease again.

I also found a bug. I got a lap time star for beating 0:52, but after the event it didn't give me the star. I had a best time of 0:52.040. Therefore it seems like the in-game star triggers either just on the time with no decimal precision, or perhaps the first decimal place.
So yeah I had to do the whole thing again

Rushy says there's some incremental sever updates rolling throughout the day.
Guess I'll try logging on again later..

Handling is beast on that thing
That said, the handling on the RUF is pure garbage

Tell me about it, I tried to make a positive comment the other day, and even mention the fact that I could also not get online with Forza Horizon 2 the first 3 days after launch, which was completely the truth for myself, many of the online features of FH2 did not work for me initially (turns out it was an issue for those in the Preview program) and you would think I assaulted peoples mothers personally or some shit. It is insanity.
I started to defend myself, and say fine if you want, you can swap out FH2 with any number of games, but it was to no avail.
The funny thing is all I said is I was willing to get them some slack, but I was still disappointed overall, but people did not get that far.
Lesson learned for myself. I will never, ever EVER comment about anything video game related on Facebook ever again.
The only positive I can take out of it is I did get over 200+ likes, which shows me there are some people out there who think rationally as well, they are just smart enough not to comment.

Driven about 60% of the tracks and I'd say I only came across two corners that were quite easy to trigger the corner penalty and where you didn't really gain much of an advantage.
The corner penalty speed restriction also seems to vary. I'm wondering if therefore you trigger it not only by how much you cut, but perhaps also at what speed you cut.
As for vehicle collision - yep. Welcome to a racing game, never seen this done perfectly.
Play Grid 2, the AI will slow down when coming up behind you so that it doesn't crash into you. G2 definitely has the least suicidal racing AI I've seen.

The sense of speed in this game is unreal. Anything over 150mph and I fear for my life haha!!
I really really really loved this tour event, location and lighting are so good.
And I'm in love with this car, it's wild!
Really? I found the RUF quite easy and fun to drive. Light steering, manageable understeer with proper throttle input, strong stopping power for late braking, etc.
Now the Bentley on the other hand...
It's not and don't hold your breath, it probably won't be until 1 or 2 weeks.

My first drive with the RUF was brutal. But once you get the handling down it really is a pleasure to whip around.
