Haha, that image had me picking up my jaw from the floor.What the chutney. Where did all those new times come from! I've gone from 3rd to 7th!
Edit: oh, you're in Time Trial not Challenge. D'oh.

Rip velcro railings. Online Will be much better now.I don't follow this thread too much but just noticed Driveclub posted this in the comments of the new track video:
we are also making a couple of changes in the next update that will help.
1) AI cars will no longer draft like driving Gods, so you'll see less chain-drafting and they won't exploit any little mistake you make quite as aggressively as they do right now.
2) Hitting the walls and armco will no longer have such a major impact on your speed, giving you a little more chance to recover if you're pushed around or you make a mistake.
Not sure if that's common knowledge here but sounds great.
I hope they still exploit mistakes fairly aggressively, though. That's what I loved about the AI so far in DC, is that they force you to become better drivers as a result. I wouldn't be half as good as I am now if the game didn't shove your face in the mud every time you did a tiny little fuck up.I don't follow this thread too much but just noticed Driveclub posted this in the comments of the new track video:

It's a shame they couldn't do that just for online... IMO you should be punished for hitting the railings, otherwise you'll have people dodgem-ing time trials and finding a better way around corners than actually taking the driving line (that I sometimes see now).Rip velcro railings.

Weather isn't mutually exclusive, it can be both. Fair chance that snow will be in it as well if it's a thing that does happen in the region.Looks like they went with rain instead of snow, great to see Mt. Fuji. Man, they are really trying with the DLC tracks, it blows most of the vanilla game out of the water.

Just posted a 1:15:450 on the Indian track with the Ferrari special.
Sub 1:15:00 is definitely possible , i lose :600 on the two ridicuous hairpins. :/

Edit: Watching that video, it also looks like exposure has been tweaked as well, no longer completely destroys visibility when coming out of a tunnel. Woo!
Finally watched the Japan video and something seems...off...with the ZR1 sound. Something artificial....hmmmm.

Those are terrible terrible changes. I really don't like Evolution caving in like that to people's misplaced complains.
Especially number 2, that game was balanced perfectly in matter slowing down the player when they hit something. This will fix nothing. It will do even worse -- it will fuck up the gameplay AND the online experience. People might exploit the game instead of doing "legit" times. If this fucks anything up, many people will stop playing and challenges will lose their appeal. I will be the first to stop playing in that case.
Relax. Some of you get way too worked up over things you haven't even tried out. Let them release it. If it turns out to be a bad compromise, then make yourself heard.
Did my first online race and got 4th out of 9. It's nice knowing there are worse drivers out there than me
At the end this guy yelled into his mic. "Did I finish?! FUCK" LOL
Nice one!And I came back to win the Alpine challenge woohoo! Set the 6th fastest time (with the alpine) in the world doing it, whilst Vaga set the fastest time in the world (with the 12C) to take the McLaren win.

I turned on my PS4 before to see 4 guys on my friends list playing my challenges, it was awesome

It had to be either Auctopus or Vaga to take it. Those two are nuts at this game. And nope, I'm using a DS4 and Automatic lol.
It's driving me mad reading this thread in my breaks at work, i've had no chance to get on my PS4 since last saturday, I think i'm getting really bad withdrawal symptoms!

Nice one!
And the challenges are among the main aspects why I enjoy this game so much.
Damn that was fast. Can't believe you're not in 1st, that looked like a perfect lap.
And to further compound, Evo just released a 60fps update and a slew of real world tracks like Nurburgring, Monza and Spa. Loads of new vehicles including a shed load of Japanese models. Replay mode added and private lobbies are now there. Best get that PS4 switched back on!
As someone who is getting a PS4 soon, I take it this game doesn't have local split screen multiplayer?

As of right now the Renault Alpine and Twin'Run are my most hated cars, I feel perfectly at home in all hyper cars but these 2 fuckers I just can't stand.
Maybe the car is actually like that?Both, especially the Twin-run, exhibit some very unpredictable snap oversteer, highlights the lack of depth in the physics model somewhat.
Good for you, the Alpine+track combo was not my cup of tea. I'll set a few challenges tonite on the Kyle, see how you keep up .

Vaga, I won't be at my Playstation until tonight but could you add me? I'd like in on those challenges, please.
I don't think it highlights lack of depth on the contrary. Lift-off oversteer is a natural effect that all cars have and it's related to the weight transfer (that so many 'experts' here on GAF state it's not modelled). But I think due to the racing nature of both cars, they are lacking any form of stability and traction control so we experience a more severe form of oversteer than the rest (the Ariel Atom is another perfect example).
By no means I'm complaining about the cars or I want them changed, they are fine I'm just not comfortable driving them with a DS4. With a proper wheel setup I'm sure it changes the whole experience.
My car was so incredibly dirty and scarred by the time I finished the first Venom hot lap. #BattleScars
