I've saw some weird stuff online too.
Last night me and someone from on here(arhra?) were racing, he came 2nd me 3rd.
After the race finished someone else was moved up the leaderboard to second.
And a few times there has been someone on the leaderboards with a higher class of car than the rest but his score at the end is a minus.

I usually always upgrade brakes, springs (then go into tuning and lower it some more) , weight reduction, clutch, and transmission. I'm less into improving the raw power, and more into having a light, fast accelerating, well handling car.
I also will add a spoiler if I need to get some more down force to improve the handling.

Yup i feel ya. Id like to walk into that QA dept and say you guys didnt have this happen while testing? Really?
what stingray you got? the 2014 or the 1967? and for what class you are interested?
I can share a tune for you and you can compare to see differences
Regarding the freezes, I've had around 10 in total this weekend, however I've just played for the last couple of hours while not signed in to XBL. I smashed through tons of signs, found loads of new roads and just generally did a lot of things that would normally have a high chance of freezing up my game and... I had absolutely no issues whatsoever.
I think the freezing up is something to do with XBL. If anybody else can do some testing that'd be great.

Took the Mystery Machine out for a quick spin.
This game is so good.

I think people do the "never-ending drift" thing in all the between-race things and don't even try to get to the destination, so they're creating massive skill chains

yay! made it to tier 6 rewards, wow 7 is so far away! So is tier 1 from 2 in the club (currently at position 39).

Heh, that's pretty similar to what I do; upgrade tires, weight reduction, brakes, springs (basically in that order). Then if i've still got room in the class, worry about adding HP.

I usually dont change the type of tire (improves it to much, I like to stay in the original class unless its D) but I usually put wider ones on.

I got a new update yesterday and shortly after got my first freeze. I am also still getting that weird looking characters when you achieve something and it compares you to another player.
Loving the game but the tech issues are starting to annoy and is taking away from the enjoyment of the game. Perhaps they should of done a Driveclub and let it bake some more.

Yup that is the exact crash I had as well.
Also got this 2 times. Not in the preview program as well.

I've got to say, I'm not a huge fan of the "here are 4 races for you" design. The first game felt like it just had a ton of events all over, and I liked just roaming and randomly doing them. With that said, I do enjoy the road trips, and they're fun online too. I'm wondering if after you finish all the championships if the map will then become populated with a lot of new events all over?

New one. I don't know what you mean by "for what class". I just finished the stradale challenge..what stingray you got? the 2014 or the 1967? and for what class you are interested?

I think the mods I did moved it to s1 or s2? I'm IAMBLEST on XBL

The S1/S2 is the class, he means do you want a tune that makes your car good for A class, B class, S and so on.

If that's the case it would kill online road trips for me.

I think I bought pieces which moved me up from a class to either s1 or s2. How can I check, just go and select the car?

Argh. At 314/315 roads discovered and can't see any unexplored road surface on the map at all- I'd kill for a way to highlight unexplored roads.
Look for small darkened out parts of the street and make sure to disable all the symbols on the map.
The game wins huge brownie points from me by not forcing me to race muscle cars. I love how you get to choose a new type of championship for each destination, so you can throw it around the hills in a rally car, then switch to a retro supercar for some 90's thrills on the roads. Whatever mood you're in you can find something to suit.

Right. Even with the legend symbols gone, I've scoured that map for ages and still can't find anything still greyed out.
I'm ok with the races. I mixed it up in each area doing races, driving on the roads, finding boards etc. My problem is that I didn't realise there were only six locations. So now I've been to each one a couple of times, there isn't much left *except* races.

Anyone know where all the speed cameras/traps are? I unlocked all the roads about a week ago but its still telling me I'm missing speed cameras.
Hmmm just had my first system crash just got asked to begin taking pictures of other cars for money and the game crashed.
Just before that I also got those square symbols replacing someones name.
I've actually found it the best way to play the game. And like you the cockpit view is usually my least preferred.

I was playing some FH2 online races, and if my bad ping wasnt enough (at about 200, I can even see some cars doing strange shit) a guy just kicked me out of nowhere... I went from 3rd place to last. Was able to finish on something that is not last though...
At another race one guy passing me, and there was plenty of space for him to do so, but no... he had to pass me and try to kick me out the road also! Thankfully he couldnt.
Come on, some players are damn stupid.
Finished the championship on 5th place though. Win one race and one of that "King" events.
Its just sad how my ping is spoiling my experience. And I should not have this problem, because we have dedicated servers on my country. Damn, I hate my ISP. =´(

I know theres a photo thread but sometimes you just cant help yourself
cliche probably, fun definitely
Just bought the game on XB1. This picture was the final straw in that decision.

Maaaaaan, the Ultima GT is a fucking BEAST! I'm driving it with no assists and it is a fucking handful to drive, but sooo satisfying. I completely zone out while using it because I'm concentrating so much. It really keeps me on my toes.
I've been really, really enjoying this game up until now, but this car is making me love the game. It's such a fun car, and the handling model for this game is fucking awesome. Cars have weight to them, but they're still precise and smooth.

I think this is my favorite game of the new generation so far. It's truly exceptional.
Funny, cause for me its the other way around: I think rain does not look quite as good in cockpit-view than it does in all other views. Especially the street kind of looks extremly blurred like a odd one colored grey texture sometimes.

I was in an online championship with P3tran just now and there was a guy who went from 0 to 146k XP within the road trip to the third event.
Up to that point I was leading. Yeah...that's no fun.
