I'll get on it tomorrow. Just wasted 5 hours of my life going to watch a game of football that got abandoned 5 minutes after I got there!

Frig it. I'm going for it.

New Challenge

We going to Scotland, to Wester Ross Reverse (GoT reference ?), in the Audi RS 5 Coupe (player level 7 car) and we'll be doing a little bit of drifting. We'll start a six o clock in the evening, with a time lapse of x 60, with a stormy cloud cover and heavy precipitation. It's a long track with plenty of corner and speed scoring opportunities. There's a base score set of 14,720.
You have three days to set your best time, ending at roughly half nine on Monday night. If you didn't receive an invitation and would like one, add me: Little_Ifrit Be sure to mention Digital Spy in the friend request comment.

Happy drifting
Lol, shocker - you picked a drift. Absolutely nothing to do with the fact you won the last drift challenge ( also set by you!!)

In some ways its shocking that the plus sample version of this game still isn't available, yet they are encouraging more users by decreasing the price.

Given that you can get it for Ŗ20, i think that most people that were waiting to try before they buy would have bought already.

But yeah, they definitely dropped the ball on that part of it.

And the plus version actually annoyed me, because it is the reason there is no trophy for getting all 225 stars. Imo that is quite an achievement and definitely warrants a trophy, it was a bit of a let down when I got the last star and there was no trophy 'ping'.

I was initially waiting for the PS Plus version but when that never came, read some of those very negative reviews which put me off. But since then Evolution have fixed what needed fixing and it's now a great game and a steal at Ŗ20 digital.

I was also put off by those reviews that stated the single-player aspect was weak and could be completed in a few days, which isn't really the case. Oh, I love that it's a bare-bones racer with no faffing around with set-ups, upgrades, paint-jobs and story; just pure racing is all I want. Excellent stuff indeed.

Do you guys use voice-chat or is it strictly none-verbal when you play online?

I hadn't realised that clubs were so small for some reason, seems like there could be more than the current 6 DS ones?

Look forward to giving them a go. I'm guessing the next challenge after this one will be on one of those tracks.

Are all the tracks free?

I think I've joined this club do I need approval before I can do club challenges as they are still locked?

You may need approval. It depends on how the club was originally set up. The club owner may need to accept you

Hmm. Shouldn't need approval as I set the club to 'open'. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of nowhere at the moment with no broadband but I'll check when I'm back in London tomorrow.

Also, yay for joining DAgnasti! \o/

I shutdown the ps4 and started it up again which seems to have sorted it. I have to apologise in advance as I don't think I'll be improving the club just yet, starting to find the difficulty ramping up on the SP tour already and I really can't do drifting, have a 1 star average on those events so far!

Not a fan of these drift challenges. Do a perfect lap staying in track & being 800+ points in front only to get beat by someone driving the wrong way to gain more speed is poor 👎

Just got this game as it was only 20 quid and while the graphics and gameplay are actually impressive i keep getting errors about not connected to the server and so forth, I thought all this was fixed by now.
