DRIVECLUB |OT2| You Can't Rush Evolution

Not sure if he's Vaga's cousin or DHC-Shannow's one.
So, after a few weeks break because life, I completed Venom Hotlap 1 today, and it wasn't really that difficult once you figured out which turns could save you valuable time. Two of the three last corners, I think, were where I shaved my time to below 1.16, and still feeling I could do it half a second faster without much trouble.
Just tried Hotlap 2, and fuck me this is going to bust my balls. Luckily my T500 is mounted, and too heavy to throw in the wall.
On another note, I had a xbox and forza fanboy at my place today, and after destroying my wheel with insane drifting he said something like "Fuck me, this is so much better than Forza". He's now buying a PS4 and a wheel.
Keep spreading the word, cause Driveclub is not only the best driving game I've played, it's the most fun I've had gaming since I don't know.

If anyone is looking for a DC club, I've got 4 spots open for Lunar FC. We are currently level 10. Let me know if you would like to join!
I sent a request to join (JARRRNO on PSN).
Lol
I thought we were posting only screenshots in this thread? No IRL stuff pls.Fucking hell this car gives me a boner! The looks, the handling, the engine ROARS!
PS. Can't wait to get in that damn car. I suspect the centre-placed driver's seat will give the in-car cam a completely different feel.

I think it took me an hour and a half or two hours. The biggest problem right now is that even though i played more and i KNOW that there's only one rule during Venom Hot Lap -> do NOT ever, EVER slide during exiting the corner, the slippery track makes it worse. Pad's trigger doesn't allow for finer adjustments required. I may try with analogue sticks. Will see.

Holy hell, I did a double take on the second picture. Beautiful.
I'm on mobile, and uh, I can't tell if the pictures are from the game or not. Are they??

You're in, thanks! 2 more spots for Lunar FC!
It really does! Having equal space to both sides in a car is really something.
But am I the only one who thinks EVO should mark new cars/tracks better in the menus?
Just mark the new cars and tracks with a yellow corner or something.
New stuff is already getting lost and we only started the DLC part of the game.

I've no idea what he uses and I don't know if there's any advantage over a pad on this game - I just use a pad but with accelerate & brake on L1 & R1 cos I broke my R2 hinge by pulling on the trigger too hard!
A lot of us early adopters didn't have any tour times recorded as we'd completed the tour before the servers were up - I think there's only the last few events with any of my times on.

It seems that the average ai level has been bumped up. The first race of redline was actually quite challenging.
Wait.... No analoge accelerating/breaking for you?
early adopter, too.
But I reran all of the events when the leaderboards finally worked.
Then some got deleted again but well.
But I'd prefer you don't repeat the first events. I like my rankings
edit: I don't analogue acc/brake either. Does that help?

Cringed pretty hard picturing that. I guess you have a lead finger?
Don't wanna be smug about it but I'm baaack
Dunno who he is but he just destroyed my Venom hot lap 2 time by 1 second. Bloody hell.
My worry about the DLC is that I'll need to be an ever increasing master at the game to stand a chance of beating any of it. If I can't cope with Photo Finish or Ignition then there will be less point for me to buy the others.
If the race is laps of a circuit then I let the pack drive off and then start running just to try and get a clean one. I find it very difficult with the AI braking at points that I feel it doesn't need to, banging in to me, me into them etc.
If its a point to point then you just have to try and wing it, one of the first events on the bit after Rookie events is an Audio challenge with a very high speed course. This one Green shithead keeps ramming me off. I've left it for now!
You're Anakin Skywalker right? That's how you're so fast?

Seems like it's always the green ones that are dicks doesn't it?
What? It just made me happy hearing him say such a thing with genuine enthusiasm after telling me countless times that xbox and forza is the shit. I really want Driveclub to do well, cause I can't wait to see what Evolution cooks up next. Be it Driveclub or Motorstom, I'm there day 0 (after online is sorted out) heh heh.
It's so awesome that you did the Torque Vectoring.
I saw a documentation about that car talking about it and wondered if you'd implement it.
I wonder if AMG provided you with some information on it?
Since, I mean, that has to be a lot to program
Well, we haven't done a 100% accurate simulation. As you suggest that would be a major undertaking, and we're not a 'sim' racer anyway, but it feels right and that's what matter in DC.
Gimme two days.
Wait, the HL2 time or *your* HL2 time? Because um, maybe not. What track is it on?
It's pretty fucking great either way.
In that documentation the driver said it's a game changer handling-wise, and that's actually what it feels like in DC.
Now I'm hoping for the BMW i8
Totes.

A question to those with the new DLC: Are the new cars locked behind higher driver/club levels?
Also if memory serves me right, Jeremy test drove one in an episode of Top Gear recently. Definitely a cool car.
It seems pretty awesome from a technological standpoint, but I just can't get behind electric cars. The fact that they had to add in fake engine sounds kinda of puts me off.It's pretty fucking great either way.

Back to you bud ;-) Please don't beat me again!! That was tough!
Lol when I'm in the zone I don't feel anything, it's when I stop that it hurts!
If you watch any of my vids you'll hear lots of tapping of accel & brake - which is pretty much how I drove before anyway.
Acura? NSX? WE'LL BE SEEING THE NSX IN DRIVECLUB?!?

Oh, that's interesting! Taking corners is such a joy in that car.
Lol. Seriously. The stretch of tour between amateur and pro always had some trolly green car that smashed me into a wall or spun me out. I got to the point where I'd slam those in the wall every chance I got. Yes, I hate on a fictional AI car
You're in luck, it''s kinda late. Tomorrow I'll get back on this
My time, same track, rain, pitch black.

You can fix this - I did.
Open up the controller and remove the spring attached to the R2 button - that's it! It will still work with the broken hinge when you take out the spring.
My controller works perfectly - see this guide here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYaYks2o2Qg
