How do club requests work? Sent a few request to join gaf friend's clubs and I just got back on and still aren't in one. Imagine it was declined but is there any way to know? If I send 5 requests does only the last one count?
I found a great way to be not bothered by penalties, race with HUD off and the music loud. It's just some extra beeps per minute 
I do wish I could get a pit board though as I usually have no idea what lap I'm on or what position but to be honest I don't usually care lol love this game.

Oh yeah. This is the way I've been racing since I got the game.
HOLY SHIT! Just played my first quick single event on Bandipur at 5 PM, legend difficulty on a BAC Mono. Shit is intense. And freaking beautiful. AI is absolutely brutal, even to each other. Saw at least 4 cars wipeout in a single 3 lap race. lol
After the tour mode, I think chasing accolades is my new goal. There's so much fun stuff to try out and experiment. And it all goes to the club. If this is what people call "grinding", then I'm gonna grind all day! After the bad taste that grinding in Destiny left in my mouth, this is… refreshing!
You can send requests to as many clubs as you are interested in. Unfortunately, club requests are like friend requests. If the recipient doesn't notice it, or ignores it, you will not know. They do have the option to reject it though, which would notify you.
Probably makes sense to send a PSN message to the club owners' PSN as well, to make sure they at least acknowledge it.

Seriously turning the hud off was the first thing I did. I never even know what's a penalty and what isn't unless I get the engine cut-off thing. And I mean really? So you've got 1,244,575 points instead of 1,286,954 points because grrrrr them darn penalties.

*** I managed to buy driveclub twice from PSN despite having a working copy ***
The first was the pre-order $49.99 edition. That's what I've been playing all along. I have the confirmation email dated 10/6/2014 at 6:10pm
In an effort to find out why my copy has NEVER connected, I noticed that when I moved to driveclub on the PS4 list of games, a yellow "buy - $49.00" option appears below the game (this does not appear below other games, instead there is the rate/rating box there).
So I bought it again. Add to cart, confirm purchase, thank you email, this one dated 10/19/2014 12.21am called Driveclub (Full Game).
Now I've bought it twice and will apply to Sony to get a refund.
It didn't fix the problem (yet) though, I still get no server connection.
Maybe PSN communicates with Evolution studios the PSN ids of those who own the game and my id was not on that list. Maybe it will be shortly.
Something is screwed up in PSN over the driveclub launch that charged people for games , allowed downloads, and updates, then did not correctly or completely record that they own them.

I've got the feeling the price showing is to do with it being on plus, as I think it's the same as with other PS+ content. Despite the fact the Driveclub PS+ copy can be kept forever, other PS+ content is part of your subscription unless you decide to buy it outright.

so your copy shows a price as well?
and, everyone can buy it twice over, if they so choose to make a donation to Sony?
edit: the only other games that show a "buy" option are Destiny (also a pre-order) and Don't Starve (which was a ps+)
but other ps+ freebie games I have don't show buy options. Confused..

I was on the edge of my seat the whole time when I was playing Venom Hot Lap. That shit is intense!
So you still haven't received the notification?
So, I guess you'll have to call them.

Are the leaderboards still busted? I've easily beaten times from some of the people on the GAF friends list thingo and it hasn't updated my time...

I can't check at the moment as the kids are on the PS3. I have it on disk though and I'm pretty sure it shows the store price
Maybe a donate button wouldn't be a bad idea, if it went straight to developers you like
Good way to support indies.

yeah this always sucks for me, I tend to race 10 or 20 laps if I have a car that needs to get some miles for accolades
in the middle of a long ass race like that getting kicked on Single player is stupid
LMAO!

Finally: 1:15,804 on the Venom hot lap. It was the stuff of nightmares to finally beat it. There is much room for improvement but i will never revisit that event again.
Good news: the three matches i played online were fun albeit flawed (people slamming into you for minimal penalty).
Bad News: The other 30 matches that did not load or kicked me out or had someother error. I thought they had fixed some of this but it looks like they need a bit more time to fix this to an acceptable level (not a good sign for PS+ edition).

German cars, mate.
I feel as though they are updating, just slowly. I had a drift high score that didn't show up until like a day later, even though I've already beaten it, I think it will show up eventually as well.

It's what i've been doing for hours on end. And restarting the game because it crashed completely, asking me to send a crash report. And ohhh the jolly fun with switching between party leader and not really knowing what the FUCK is going on. And then waiting, waiting, waiting, alsmost starting a race, and then: ERROR... Are you not entertained?
Here is my one video with Hennessey Venom in Chile ( Damn, how is video compressed on Youtube ) :

Right, I need a club so I can unlock stuff and whatnot. Anyone got a spot?
EDIT: Either that or I can create one if there are others here that need a club. I'm thinking of the name "Quite Mediocre".

You can also join Eau Rouge (PSN:gallusgallus). We have two open spots, so others are welcome as well. I think we're level 13 at the moment. No clue how active the club is, but at least it gives you some unlocked cars.

Oh, MikeDub how many open spots have you got? I'd rather join one with a lot of people in it from the start, to be honest!

We have 5 people, BG Industries.

Haha! I'm always seeing you at the top of my leaderboards. I have all these gaffers who are shit hot at this game and I can see me falling behind big time!
I have multiple tracks that still havent uploaded my times after 3-4 days, while others upload instantly. It really feels like some track leaderboards are completely busted for me.

Ready to give up on this and sell the game. Still not connecting and still the weather & photo mode are not present.
Might pick it up again in the future when its a tenner or less.

It takes way too long to get into a race. It wouldn't be so bad if your lobby carried over between races, but nope you get dumped and your new lobby re-syncs between every event. I know I should be grateful that the servers are functional now and maybe this process will speed up once they get the remaining kinks worked out, but I honestly think I'm spending about as much time looking at loading screens as actually racing.
So does mine. I was checking the store last night to see if I had overlooked a pre-order car, and I noticed the game still shows as $49.99 and I could even add it to my cart. (Didn't re-buy of course).
They said from day 1 weather and photo mode before christmas, they never said at launch.
Sucks you still can't connect, i never dont connect now :/
