Well I got the game gifted now and requested to join GAFPanda, I'm too tired right now to write much else but the core driving is fun

I wonder if they will be forced to downsize after this.

Doubt they will downsize, this is nowhere near as bad an experience as Motorstorm Apoc was for them where the game came out at the worst possible time and bombed in sales. Driveclub seems to be selling pretty well and they aren't a huge studio anyway.
When I joined my club it only had one other player and he had already leveled it up a few spots.
The leader can make anyone else in the club a leader if need be.
Sounds like the club locked cars will be patched so once you unlock them, they are unlocked even if the game goes offline/club is disbanded.
You can make your own clubs can't you?

Yeah, but a club isn't validated until there's more than one member. Until then, none of your solo kudos count towards the team.
I had a bit of an accident

Oh really? That seems odd. What is the starting level of a club? I'm sure it was already 2 or 3 by the time I joined.
Nice! And yeah, I like it too... it was closest I could get to the 1,000,000K badge from PGR4
Since the Club stuff is working now I will be contributing a few points. Have held off doing the last Championship in Tier 2 specifically cos I wanted the Club points. Means I can start a whole batch of new races in Tier 3 as well.

Strange. In a championship of 2 races I finished first in one and second in the other but somehow didnt get first place in the champoinship..

Yep. Being in a club with some leaderboard times and ghosts to beat definitely raises the game up several notches. Challenges will really kick things into gear. Hopefully that's coming real soon.

nope. you can join your friends and level up your club but you can't even play multiplayer at all.

Joined GAFMidwest, played for a bit, now we're Level 3.
Even seeing the leaderboards got me fired up during my run through the amateur class last night.
I'm utterly shite at drifting tho. Got 2 stars on the BMW1 series, and 1 on the Spyker, which every says is 'really easy' to drift in.
I did manage to score a single 2300 point drift in the Lotus in one race
Shame it wasn't actually a drift challenge...Sodding_Gamer

I just got up in the middle of the night 3am UK and the servers were fine. A few events failed to load into the lobbies but I had several matches that were fine. Leader boards were working and social hub too.

I can't bring myself to move on from bumper cam. It just looks too good.
Also, I begin to suck ass the more "sim" variables get thrown in
I can play mutliplayer.

And since you've joined even when you're offline anything you do will sync up and contribute.

I really want to race with one of the inside views but I keep going back to the bumper cam. Top of the dash cam seems ok.I can't bring myself to move on from bumper cam. It just looks too good.

I had the same thing happen to me. Had the same number of points but I got second.
Yeah I have been leaning towards the bonnet cam myself. Sense of speed is great, and the visuals don't suffer like they do inside the cockpit (to me, anyway).
Was just on; servers are working for clubs, but I just wanted to run a few events for the club, so I didn't attempt multiplayer. The option was lit up, but I don't know if that means it was working.
Cumulative time I guess - I'm pretty sure at some point this happens in racing if points and number of wins doesn't produce a clear winner.

Sorry for digging this one up but I just went back a few pages and felt the need to reply.
The only thing the game would need is a multiplayer mode set up by Evo themselves into which only logged in clubs can enter. The races would play out like the Team Races and you and your club members would simply get pitched against a random club. It's party vs. party, basically. To ensure that there are always enough same sized clubs ready to compete with Evo would maybe need to make it a weekend only thing but this would not only make it something special for players but also benefit the game as a whole as players would be given an additional incentive to keep on coming back.

the game sometimes reminds me of Gran Turismo how sometimes you just need a faster car to win the races.

those club logos are pretty ugly
I am happy to be in a club but man those thing stick out on your favorite color
give us options to race with the color we want without the club logos

you DO have that option.
You can change both color and whether you display your club logo in the garage.
Yeah that's what I figured.
So happy the leaderboards are up. I have/had the fastest time at one of the tracks in Scotland in a Agera. Suck it Hennessy

If it's lit up you can try and enter it. Sometimes you get disconnected but if you do get in a online race it's awesome! It feels like your racing in single player. it's that good!!

bro, does racing with friends work online or not?
Agreed. Though I think the current team racing mode already attempts to do that by prioritizing party vs party? Or may be it doesn't. If it doesn't, then your idea makes sense

Holy shit. I logged into Driveclub and instantly I was connected. Matches work and everything. Whatever Evo is doing, they need to keep doing it because this is excellent progress! Keep it up, team!
haha yeah man, I got into my first MP race on Friday night when it was working intermittently. It was indeed pretty awesome. I was very proud of myself for coming in 3rd, even though the 1st and 2nd positions smoked everyone else by about 12-13 seconds.

Yeah I'm not so good either. Always seem to choke when I get out front. But it's fun anyway.
