Just put a lap in on the new challenge and found the car quite difficult to handle. It seem to slip about a lot.

One thing I wish you could do on these challenges is select a variety of ghosts to have on the track at the same time. So I could load the ghost for the people in 1st and 2nd place, and also add in some of the ghosts from people near me in the leaderboard. I played a multiplayer time trial race last night with 5 other people who are all ghost cars and thought that could work on the time trial challenges.

Playing the tour mode last night and have now got to the hyper cars. I am actually finding this game quite a challenge, the AI seem to pick up on any little mistake you make and take places back. Most of the racing games I have played recently as long as you can get into first place you have won the race but not on this one.

The collision penalty is bloody annoying though, AI brakes hard on a corner and I hit them, I lose points. I brake a little too much on a corner and an AI hits me, I get penalised. An AI car rammed me off the track last night because I took a corner cautiously and I lost points and places for it

I wonder if Evolution will go on to make Driveclub 2 or a new Motorstorm next? The original Motorstorm was a great game with fantastic graphics for the time. Imagine how good it'll look with this engine 😎
They could easily just keep updating the current game with new tracks, cars and tour packs.

I would love a new Motorstorm game, more a reboot of Motorstorm 1 & 2 rather than the third though. I played a track last night in India I think with a weather transition from rainy storm to dry. The way the mud on the side of the track changed as the track dried out made me think a new Motorstorm could look awesome on PS4.

okay I'll share in the spirit of community! As all ready said, this car is great in a straight line, so manage your speed around the corners so you don't need to "over steer". Too much steering and it goes out of control like a shopping trolley with a wonky wheel!

Hope that helps

Can't believe the Playstation Plus UPGRADE is on the store and yet the actual Playstation Plus version is still nowhere to be seen. Absolute joke.

The price it is now in most stores you'd be better buying, it's worth it!

It's not playing ball this afternoon. Took 15mins for the servers to jig into life and pick up my profile/club/challenges and now it's only showing me my best ghost in the current run and all of the face offs just say "downloading", so it's still not clicked on.

Cheers Ian. I'll see how this goes later.

I saw your time pop up while I was doing the challenge. Excellent time.

I think I can get in the 1:12s, but 1.11:5 will be tough to beat.

Still getting that now. Had a few goes on the challenge, it's er... different!

Tried the MP last night, don't think I'll bother again, full of idiots thinking it's Mario Kart and using you as a brake every_single_corner.

Yeah, but we're waiting for private lobbies so we can all jump in and have some races amongst ourselves. That might stop some of the bashing.

Urgh, waited 7 minutes to get into a time trial lobby only to get booted off the servers and now no amount of closing app and restarting the game will shift it. Still don't understand why there isn't a refresh or reconnect to the servers option.

Agree, it can be very, very frustrating... Seems to be a bit flaky today, may leave it until tomorrow to beat your new time lol!

Well done Matt! I agree, the middle section that decides my lap, the x2 yellow corners after the hairpins...

You were right, it didn't last - Lisa posted a 1:10.870

I'm still struggling to get in the 1:12's.

Playing this morning. Red sector after red sector after red sector, my 6 yr old pipes up, "dad, why would you set a challenge that you're not very good at?" Gee, thanks.

Ghosts, leaderboards and face offs didn't seem to be working properly for me yesterday

Driving around the tracks I would come to a face off which just said 'downloading' or something like that.

Yeah the servers have been on the fritz for the past two days. I've set drift scores in challenges that didn't get recorded at all
