YOU ASSHOLE!!!
I was on Kobago (?) downhill and from the beginning of the race I fought my way back to the front at the very last straight at the tunnel. There was a huge mess at the end that I somehow managed to avoid involving four or five cars. I got pushed to the side at the finish line, crashed, spun out as I crossed the flag, and had to reset to the track. But the screen faded before I reset, and I think the game still counted me as finishing fourth even though I had to cross the finish a second time.
It must be extremely difficult to create a proper penalty system where seemingly small nudges are enough to really ruin someone's race. Too many times has someone purposefully shut the door on me (even my own teammates) or pushed me off track as I get the lead leading up to the finish. And the last time that happened we were racing very clean throughout the entire race so it really soured me on the whole experience.
Can't wait for private lobbies. It should really help in that regard.

They have not changed speed sections what they have done is reward drifting that maintains speed not having your car at stupid angles it is miles better now, I tried 1 before and can safely say it's improved massively.
The trackside cameras for the point to point tracks look pretty great. I think for the car cameras hopefully we'll get an update that has camera angles similar to the Lamborghini trailer.

Incredible GIF.
What sort of audio settings are you guys running with? I use dash cam/cockpit, I've bumped audio engine +2db, misc player sounds +1db, and competitor race cars +1db. Pretty good balance so far, not sure if I'll stick with it. But honestly, the default audio balance is already pretty ideal.
Don't get how some people ain't impressed these are the best replays I've seen in a racing game just watch this f50 race I did before https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=49TTKPY5N7c

Quick test with a couple different captures of replay mode cameras and editing them together.
The default camera work is a bit too jumpy imo.

I only want to see this, once at home :
Dat effect I was asking for so long in a driving game.

I did notice you don't seem to get as many points as before when you're drifting completely sideways, yeah. Hopefully that will be enough to stop those "top drifters" from spinning around in every drift section.

I've set the engine audio to max, component audio to max, environment audio to max, and kept everything else on default.

No the effect I'm asking for, is the heathaze provoking mirage like water reflection, just as in my F1 shot.
Normally, it is part of the update list.

Yeah I think you mean Nagasendo.
They have improved this a lot since launch when the slightest touch could send you spinning, but of course it is still possible for people to really mess up your race either through deliberate or accidental means. The latest ghosting patch has also improved things though of course it doesn't always get things right. At least there's online time trials to switch too now if you find yourself getting smashed in the races.
On the other had there's this which happened to me last night where I got a load of verbal off this guy for 'deliberately trying to take him out' - see what you think.

Its is, on the little Chile DLC track Los Pemwhatever. Not tried on others. The new heat hase effect is really nice. Very noticable in zoomed shots.
Dude took himself out. It's funny to watch people shoot past and then completely lose it right after. I'm guilty of it at times but it's pretty much always my fault if I can't hold on after a clean or even slightly bumpy overtake.

You can see it approaching the finish line here, and a few other places.

I have to disagree here you hit the car infront in a bend that sends him into a spin and he hits barrier and looses control, if I got hit from behind like that id be pretty annoyed aswell to be fair.

I like all the options and switching between them on the fly is great for the photo mode enthusiasts but it would be cool if I could just watch a pre-built replay without having to create it.
[EDIT - Thanks bananafactory, it's just called "Replay Cameras" and is actually the first option! Playing in the daylight hours is clearly messing with my brain.]

Has anyone noticed a "lazy" option where all of the various camera options are used but they are pre-arranged, like a Gran Turismo style replay?

There's supposed to be one setting where it will just cycle through the various types of cameras randomly (trackside, vehicle, etc)

Oh really - I think the key word here is deliberate. I'm on the correct line while he's miles off it, and I'm off the power and trying not to hit him whilst he comes back across me. It doesn't help that we're all in One's which isn't the easiest to control.
This makes sense, but I would argue that the other dude could have saved himself if he eased off the throttle just a little bit to prevent going so far into the wall and then losing control from lack of grip.

On the official playstation Japan website...
I ran them all now too, and I love the Alpine, so much fun! Maybe it is taste?
Loving the replays too and I've also got the feeling that I get better feedback from the wheel since this game update.

Having a fade-in every time there is a camera change is such a mistake. They should just use simple cuts. It gives me a serious disjointed vibe.

mmmm it might be the video, but i think the effect is way to aggresive, less could make it more subtle.
Yeah, the sound cutting is especially jarring with the sidetrack cameras whenever there's a camera transition; Gran Turismo has a much smoother sound transition between cuts as an example.

Here you go DHC, thanks to replays I can show you properly how the cloud completely engulfs the glacier track.

Ugh. Sony really needs to fucking up that cloud storage. What a joke.

Loving replays if only for the fact that I'm pretty much exclusively watching from the cockpit as I only use hood cam when I play. It's interesting to see how much I adjust my steering as I go around the track, its not something I was conscious of till seeing the replays.
On some tracks I look like a schizo driving a getaway car.
GOT. TO. BE. SMOOTHER.

You're damn quick in that Alpine bud, well actually with all the cars I'm struggling to get near you. Dunno if it's the wheel update or your just on fire on that track
Mango - Can't believe I've never noticed that before!

And there's plenty of time to be made, I bashed the wall in straight bits slowing me down twice lol
Yeah, I only tried one track with the replays quickly and found it to be a little bit less than impressive. Can only assume some tracks have better placed cameras, and that certain lighting is better than others (I tried dynamic weather with random skies on one of the Japanese tracks).
Can't wait to get back to it tonight, though. And having permanent access to the 599XX is like having another new car! When do we get access to the Lambos again?
I'm not sure how Share Factory works with themes and such, but I'm genuinely surprised there hasn't been any kind of PS4 Driveclub theme. The design of the game just begs for an animated console theme! Rushy?share factory sorely needs a DC theme. Working on a drifting video right now.
What car and track would you guys love to see me destroy?

I got ahead of you in the Merc in a few places but you'd always get away on the exit of the twisty section. I've got the fastest time for the Mazzanti back tho and I'm now second to Kie with the Alpine
