Yes, you bet! To level up faster, go to your driver profile, progression status, then driver accolades. You'll see a slew of challenges there. Some of them are worth a lot of fame points. The mfg ones have pretty big payouts, and are the quickest really. Drive a certain number of miles in that car in tour or events, and get 100,000 to 200,000 a pop. And it'll tell you how many miles you have left.

So I could just pick a manu & car I like, select a TT and just race for MILES and get fame? Awesome.

The game didn't blow me away until I did Audi Showdown in the Amateur section of the tour. Holy fuck.

There's always a race that really clicks - I'm completely on the BHR race in the Amateur Cup series. Amazing looking track that you get to go OVER THE HUGE BRIDGE.

I cannot WAIT for replay mode.

Just had some great races online. That shit is intense. At one point I flew underneath viveks while he did a barrel roll or 2 like 20 feet in the air. It was glorious.

Thursday night it is :)

Given the way the online is coming, maybe there will be full club events and so on available.

I honestly cannot wait to go racing against another club with some driving buddies.

I was just thinking about how much fun that would be. Racing random clubs will be fun but the private lobbies will be epic when they come.

Yeah it's going to be awesome fun!

Hopefully there aren't too many dirty tactics when racing against random clubs online. It'd be interesting to see how they structure the club races, with starting grids etc.

Idk why but it's soo hilarious driving behind someone and then seeing them spin out as if you side swiped them.

I just had to save this clip of someone just going where he felt like.

Morning gents. Team GAF UK CS is going along nicely at level 13 with 4 of us doing the business. The other should be getting the game soon then no doubt we'll take over the world. I noticed the leaderboards where on/off during my hour or so last night which had not previously been working for me so progress is being made it seems. Once they're all working with no issues I'll be going through all the tour events again trying to beat número uno! Game continues to take my breath away.

Edit: Oh wow, you can see some of my times? There's only been a VERY small number of tracks I've been trying to master the hell out of. It's strange how zen it can get, to sit on the one closed course with the one car and just go around and around and around.
Click to expand...
Oh yeah. I absolute love time trials for this very reason - and I make a point of setting some times for each track before taking on an event. It starts for me just as a feel, then I get technical about it and try to hammer out any awkward turns, and then it becomes about being consistent and then it somehow becomes meditative. Something about those visuals with those sounds and those vibrations. It just works.

And the Aston Martin, Good stuff. Now we just have to target those other GAF clubs and fucking destroy them and engender some friendly rivalries.

The thing about driveclub is it challenges you to do better. Feels good when i actually achieve something in this game. It's just so satisfying. Sorry for the small image. I've got pos 653 in Marussia B2 Drift Tour!

That's #133 global ranking. And it wasn't even a perfect lap! Gonna keep trying.

I am finally able to join clubs and race online, but I still cannot send Challenges.

Does anyone know what the status of the Challenge function is?

Yup, been connected for hours and no disconnecting ever since.

Not for me.
I'm sounding like a broken record but have zero connectivity.
personally I think it is unfair if Evolution studios is fixing the problems by staging in people in sections, without communicating that is what they are doing.

I supported this game with a pre-purchase and can't see leaderboards or squat. And yes I checked (again) 5 minutes before this post.

That really sucks. Did you try letting it sit on he menu for a while? For me it took anywhere between 5-30 minutes to get connected during the last days. Once connected it seemed fairly stable.

That's odd. I get connected instantaneously throughout the day. Which region are you in?

I'm in Australia with a US PSN account. *but* I've also tried a new SEN account (no joy either) with no driveclub history.

And others in Australia have posted they are getting online so it isn't specific to the region.

After the opening movie plays, the menu comes up and it connects for a second then disconnects. That's all the life that is in there. Whether left in a game, in a menu, or playing. Connect, pause, disconnect.

I've *never* seen a leaderboard, and *never* seen an option to create a club.

Checked this morning before work if the game worked again after last night, and it did.
Even the leaderboards were shown, weird thing was though that I had zero entries.

I've done quite some Single Event Time Trials but nothing there, no leaderboard entry at all. :(

Thanks. Yeah! We are so close to breaking 200. Nice work on the all British drift. I'm literally 40 fame points behind! :D

Damn. That sucks. I just started now and I get the progress update even before the menu loads. Hmmm&#8230; What is your ping and bandwidth?

I just tried ps4 via a USA ip address, VPN, to eliminate the IP/ISP/Country as a variable.
Same result.

Here is a video of what it does. Like clockwork. It is completely predictable in its failure.

ping to USA, about 240ms,
PSN "test", Nat type-2 and download 10mbit, upload 760kbit
via the VPN, Nat type-2 download 3mbit, upload 400kbit

PS4 online games work solidly, for instance last of us? destiny? no glitches at all, except for those everyone sometimes experiences.

But driveclub has nominated my copy for zero connectivity.

Well the plot thickens.
I deleted it, thinking I'll reinstall it.

Now I can't re-download it(?) the 49.99 (yellow marked) copy in the store wants me to buy it again. I don't particularly want to charge 49.99 again, and then call Sony support to get it reversed.

My suspicion is something thinks I haven't bought it, and perhaps that is screwing up my online experience .. (I purchased using the pre-order link about 12 hours before launch moment).
