Give us a nice Focus RS or Fiesta ST to race in where a little bit of contact doesn't matter too much. Still no Fords in there yet.

Haven't Turn10 got a partnership deal with Ford?

Yeah but I wasn't aware it was an exclusive partnership. Certainly hope not.

Nice! I guessed right with the Reventon. 
Very useful indeed.
And great job to whoever makes those trailers. They're awesome.

Sounds like this is the free car.

New levels each month with rewards eh? Sounds cool.

That's the one!
There might even be new criteria for levelling in a later update, so that its no longer all about fame either

That sounds great. The fame is fun but for the most part levels boil down to how much you play the game. Would be cool if there was some twists to the formula in future.
Thanks again Rushy, you guys are doing great work

Only 5 more levels? I was expecting another 50 in one go I wonder with what else could we contribute to "level up". Stars?

The lambos are great but I was kinda hoping for Japanese cars but still a great pack

That Diablo! I have to get me a Season Pass now.
If they are listening, the top of my wishlist is still the Ruf 3800S Coupe.
This was the Cayman GT4 before there was a Cayman GT4

Pretty sure this would be its racing game debut as well!

What class will the Diablo be?
Also a few questions I hope someone can answer:
- Why can't I always pick my hard earned Ferrari 599XX in Online Hyper Races?
- Is it true that online races are sometimes limited in terms of using DLC cars or not? I'm buying the season pass so I can use the DLC cars online.

Hmm I wonder what those rewards are for the extra levels.
Liveries or badges, I'd bet.

Thanks for the feedback! It's really nice to see you still coming back to check on us in this little corner of the internet.

Anyone else think the private lobbies will arrive at the same time as the PS+ version? It'll give us a refuge from all the noobs who don't know the tracks / braking points / cars...
farmerboy

Hopefully. Though my braking points aren't all that consistent either ;-)
The changes to challenges are what I'm interested in.

The car models are top notch again. The Sesto looks beautifull. I must say that i am also really really ready for a new location.

This game!
Question: How do they maintain the quick loading? By comparison, it felt like ages in Motorstorm. I would love to see a loading comparison.
Have they ever talked about the loading? What do you guys think? How fast/smart is the loading compared to other racing games?
I personally believe they've done a fantastic job having the car model, the location, the crowd and the weather loaded for the game while you're selecting the event. The actual track loads pretty fast too.
P.S. Love the Double Rainbow in Scotland R8 Series!

Not sure but it's certainly great!
Had a good few races last night with a couple of guys not from here, good clean racing to the end the three of us always managed to shoot off from the destruction behind. Was refreshing to be allowed to make a move down the final straight on the last lap, coming out the slipstream and not just get put in to the wall.

People who moan about bashers should go play pCARS. At least in DC there's a barrier 2 foot from where you got bashed.
You get bashed in pCARS and you're half a mile off course.
It is still annoying but only after playing pCARS do I now realise that actually it ain't all so bad. Maybe it is the calibre of racers but if I'm bashed off track in lap 1 in pCARS I can pretty much kiss the race goodbye, but in DC I feel that I can still get a decent position come race-end.
As for loading, on launch they talked a lot about getting the size of the game down. Maybe they compressed everything a lot so there's less to push into memory, which cuts loading time. Not really sure what contributes to loading times.
For sure though you can see if you pay attention during the overhead pans before the grid you can see loads of shadows and objects popping in, so I guess it loads the bare minimums first then adds the extra stuff when you're not looking at it.

No idea on the class.
The online playlists have a mixture of cars, and these vary day-to-day. So even though it is a 'Hyper' event, not all Hyper cars may be available. Personally I'd rather it was open to all cars, or limited to one car. That said, it can sometimes get you playing in cars you wouldn't otherwise use.
They've had some LaFerrari-only and similar events. Though, in some of those I'm pretty sure there was also a non-DLC car to select for if you didn't have the DLC car.
