That would be awesome. The higher your penalty score in the last 10 matches, the more you get paired with other high penalty drivers.

I finally connected, created my club, participated in my first bumper cars session, then was promptly disconnected while creating my club badge. Was fun for the 20 minutes or so I was online....

Just to add onto this, sometimes no sharpness = 50/100 or so. Reducing from there just makes the image more soft/blurry. You basically want the setting that keeps the image pure.

I finally picked up the game.
CannonO, didn't you make a club for East Coast US?
I don't even know if there are open spots available.
I made a dummy club so far just to try out club features with my secondary PSN account.
I wonder if I quit a club as it's leader will the name of the club be freed up, or the other members assume control of it.
I managed to make my club O M E G A, but I can't send any invites due to Driveclub server issues, and based on the recent discussion in the topic, I take it this isn't out of the ordinary until Evolution does whatever to establish a stable online environment.

Sounds good in theory but since the game doesn't seem to differentiate who hits who (gives you a penalty even when someone else hits you) it could be pretty flawed.

The main issue I see with this is that you will get idiots who will brake sharply on straights when they know someone is behind them because they know it will cause that person to run into the back of them and incur a penalty.
Kind of like insurance fraudsters.

ShadowKingpin is club leader. I believe our club is listed over in the club thread but we had a name change to PREMIER because the original name was too long.

Definitely true, and assholes will be assholes. Still seems like a solvable problem though since you know the forces at work in the collision and where the track's braking zones are. Or, at least solvable to a decent degree. Its the programmer in my gut saying there's got to be an efficient way ;p
Made it to semi-pro while collecting all accolades. Tomorrow baby, just me and you all day long. Sense of speed is fucking ridiculous, I love it!!
Word. It'd make for great share videos.
Point to point races are too short. It is over when the fun begins 
It took me several tries, but here are some observations and tips:
- go into inside on the first corner and try not to collide with any car or with stone barrier on the left. You can overtake several cars this way and be in 5th or 6th place before fast section
-watch out for AI drivers on top of the crest, they brake quite early and they can send you into the fence right before the very fast part of the track. Use drafting to overtake and lift&coast is very useful for corners
- there is a sharp corner to the left at the end of the fast part. You can grind outside fence without penalty, if you will be too fast
- AI slows down in the village and you can breeze past them. And do not cut last left hander in the village, instant corner penalty/airborne
I managed 2:16 time with Maserati (on gamepad+manual shifting), so it is possible
I have problems with Spyker drifting, got 6675 on the first try and now cannot get near that result
Any places left in club with EU GAF?

Hey guys, I'm sure someone has already responded to this (I thought I saw the answer earlier in the thread) and I can't seem to find it using the search function so please help
I pre-ordered Driveclub through PS Store and the game pre-loaded itself; however, every time I bring up the dynamic menu (in the PS4 UI) - I see there's a purchase option for $49.99 with the PS Plus discount even though I already own the full game?
I tried deleting the game and re-downloading it and it's still there. Anyone else have this issue and if so, how do I fix it?

what the hell region are you guys in? so far all the matches i've been in, people are trying to win and race pretty clean.
US West. Its usually just two or three players that ruin it for everyone else, but I've gotten really good at avoiding crashes and dodging aggressive racers. Once you're up front, you don't have to deal with it anymore for the rest of the race.
Just play, you'll get connected ASAP anyway.

For those getting kicked out of races in single player mode: could it be that you're using "Club" colours? I had problems when choosing the Club livery, but factory colours were fine.

Yeah, maybe it automatically searches for your club members when you use the club livery.
Haven't managed to connect to the servers once yet lol.
Was trying to beat a laptime yesterday, I did about half a dozen laps and kept missing out by a millisecond but then it got dark and I kept going and my times got a bit worse but then something clicked and I WAS the track and I WAS the car and I posted a killer laptime without barely even concentrating.
You can get soooo in the zone with this game, always a good sign for drivers.

ugh fuck I thought the Huayra had a lot of traction, but it spins out if I gas and turn.
Trying to get use to letting go of gas on every turn, but sometimes I just spin out like crazy.

But as that was happening, you forgot to go to work, and you've now been fired.

I think I just got ripped off? I preordered the game from JB as all preorders got upgraded to the Steelbook automatically. However, when I went to pick it up they said Sony sent them none so I said I didn't want it. Anyway, got a call this morning saying there was a mixup and some Steelbooks arrived today. This is what I was greeted with when I arrived at the store. One shrinkwrapped standard version and an empty Steelbook with no plastic sleeve or anything. Not really happy but man I was hanging to play this.
Wtf Gorilla... I mean Sony?

Not that I could find, I'd love to bump the gamma up a bit on mine too.
Yes, pick up your TV remote, then adjust your brightness level to match your desired result.
Eh, no i´m not on any list so far. Searched for clubs online and joined Pandagaf because it was open and had slots left.

Not sure. I've had Steelbook bonuses handed to me separate like that, but I don't know how the Driveclub one was advertised.

Did you simply try starting the game? Mine shows the same, but I can load the game.
That's how it's supposed to come. I don't understand why you would think you got ripped off.
Because every Steelbook I've bought since Halo 2 has been covered in a plastic sleeve and shrinkwrapped with the disc and codes inside? First time I have heard of having a separate empty case being handed with the purchase.
The funny thing is the sales lady said there were no codes sent but they gave me a piece of paper with typed out codes for the Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series Pack, McLaren Pack and RUF R Pack and inside the case was codes as well so I got 2x the codes.
I might join this if I can connect online!

Some of the screens in this thread are....hnnnnng.
Would love to get the game but no performance/body customization kills any interest I have

Yeah it's not the norm but I've had a few games that had the steelbook separately - namely Bioshock Infinite and FF13-2.
The picture JB used to promote it also had them as separate.

Sorry guys, should have clarified - I can totally start the game and play the full version no problem.
I was more annoyed at the purchase option being present in the PS4 UI menu to be honest and was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of it? :/
It has body customization just not too deep.Some of the screens in this thread are....hnnnnng.
