    Tried again last night but all I got was the disconnected symbol in the top right corner. COD, GTA & FIFA all worked fine though

    OMTT's challenge results.

    Sub's challenge results.

    I think claymore definitely had a turbo boost for Christmas, that Atom challenge was a right old war. Every time I thought yeah that's sorted it, I came back to find more and more time had been plucked from thin air. One of them ones where you've just got to be as brave as you dare and hope you don't f up. :D

    Sent out my challenge. 2 laps around Tamil Nadu 2 in the Marussia, with some AI fun times for good measure.

    Thought I had that last night, should've known better.

    Considering my first time was about 2:15, I was well chuffed getting in the 1:57's.

    Congrats Lisa.

    Good choice subcute, I enjoyed that one.

    Well done to you both, I improved my time last night but couldn't get below 1:58. The speed you both took through the windy section in the middle was outstanding!

    I just couldn't drive that car so gave up. Seems most have given up though. Only about 5 or 6 regulars

    Well done guys on the challenge. It was a very good one. I didn't get as much time on it as I would have liked. It seemed you could really chop some time off your lap if you kept doing it. The first corner was a bit of a b1tch on that one too.

    Lisa is up next isn't she.

    The most annoying bits for me were:
    - the bridge at the start of the second sector (I had some spectacular spins on it)
    - the bit of the second sector where you couldn't see the road because of the sun
    - the last corner, where again you couldn't really see it due to the sun

    Yes, Lisa is up next - she's already sent her challenge. (see above where she posted the results)

    Ahhhh seems I missed that. Time to get cracking on it then.

    It looks a bit like a track we already have other than scenery

    Corners or Track i cant see because it too dark or it to sunny
    Annoying and Stupid Ai ,that spin me out a little to much
    Stupid penalties ,when i didn't even do it
    i think some of the tracks are poorly designed
    poor presentation

    But even with these complaints i rather like Driveclub ,because the gfx are some of the best ever seen in a racing game ,plus the driving so much fun with a good senses of speed.
    plus i love the challenges ,especially today when i was top briefly!!

    Full footage of the new Nakasendo point-to-point track.

    Nice and wide providing plenty of overtaking opportunities, sweeping bends, fast straights.... should be a good combination.

    Due later this month.

    Couldn't connect to the servers last night. And PSN maintenance will probably get in the way today.>:(

    Offline tour or GTA V... ?

    I took the plunge on this last night but only managed the first few single player races.
    It looks promising so far but I haven't got a clue how you go about joining a club yet. Can you just browse clubs and apply to join or do you need the club name etc before you can find it?
    I have absolutely 0 friends on PSN so it's not as much fun without the 'targets' to aim for.

    I know they did some server updates yesterday, might be why you couldn't connect.

    On the main menu screen you'll see Club in the top right corner. Go in there and you can seach through lists and recommended clubs or you can enter a club name if you know what you're looking for. We have ~6 Digital Spy clubs. Take a look at them if you fancy, and there might be space in some.
    Bear in mind that some cars are only accessible when you've reached a certain club level so you kind of have to join one if you want everything unlocked.

    If you'd like to join in our challenges you'll have to share your PSN as we can then send you invites when you're on our friends list.

    Brilliant, cheers!

    I'll have a search tonight (after the PSN down time).

    Only problem with this is I will now know exactly how rubbish I am! :D

    1) it doesn't take long to get to grips with the game. You'll be a pro in no time.

    2) a good few people have joined since Xmas so you're not on your own.

    3) there's plenty of us who have been playing for months that are still rubbish. :)
