Should have added, I'm level 6 at the min, don't seem to have many cars. Do I need to play the single player cups to unlock cars and level up?

Also can you set up online races with friends or join with randoms? You seem to have a good group but it is all time trials?

Sorry for all the questions.

Cars are unlocked by level. There are also cars locked to club level, so getting into a club is important especially with the accolade bonuses to earn tons more fame and level up even quicker.

Private lobbies aren't available yet, so any multiplayer stuff would be jumping into a lobby with randoms. What us lot on here are doing is in the challenge mode section, we take turns to set up a private race, drift or time trial event for 3 days.

That's ok. Ask all the questions you want.

Anybody on DS can join our challenges. Just get whoever makes the challenge to send you an invite. You've left your PSN so we can add you but go back a few pages and add us too.

You need to level up get more cars. Do this however you want. But the main tour is a good way. You'll get used to the cars and tracks and make plenty of fame along the way. If you want to join a club, look up all the Digital Spy ones and see if there's a spare spot in any of them. You'll never to level up your club to get more cars too.

Online racing isn't great, tho not awful. A lot of the time people just go into them to bash you around the track. We're patiently waiting for private lobbies so we can all go in together and have nice fair races. Also we do so many time trials because it's hard to get us all on at the same time so our challenges gives everyone 3 days to post their best time, it's fair. Challenges can also be compromised of races and drift events too. It's up to whoever is making it, we have a list somewhere.

They aren't now. Lots of comments on twitter about it, but DC haven't posted since the early hours of yesterday morning.

Hopefully it's to fix that issue with the club accolades not progressing. I've got my grinding sights set on a couple of club accolades that are close to being maxed when they do.

Just started playing this and requested to join Digital Spy 1 so be good to join you guys if there's room

I'm speedy1013 by the way.

Is there a challenge at the moment? I don't see to have received it if so.

Jaffa-mad sent it as a club challenge to all ds clubs. Let him know your club name and he'll send it on. It'll still have 3 days to go anyway as he set it for longer than normal.

Thanks. Just having a few races now, up to level 10. Quite enjoying it - feels like maintaining speed is the key to fast lap times. Probably will try to level up a bit more but I will add you guys and try a challenge.

Thanks. I just raced your ghost on Mercedes hot lap in India. You are formidably fast.

I can hustle with you for 3 or 4 corners or so but my braking isn't there yet. Your entries and exits are really tight and quick. Do you use a combo of brake and handbrake? (sorry to be cheeky lol should figure it out myself ). 4920 on the global leaderboard though, not a bad effort.

^^^^ I find drifting is rarely the key to getting around a corner fast. Very rarely.

But Lisa is considerably faster than me so maybe her tactics are different.

I don't touch the handbrake unless it's a drift event. It's basically just sinking tons of hours in to get a feel for each track/car. I won't give away all my secrets, but lifting off and flicking the car into corners is a good trick for some of the yellow corners on tracks.

I've got the key, I've got the secret

What camera view are people using? Tried the in-car view to start with but let's just say I wouldn't pass my test the way I was driving! It's the view I'd like to use but the one further from the car seems the easiest.

I use the one furthest away too. Can't do it using the in car cameras.

Now I've got that song stuck in my head.


Bumper cam.

Bonnet cam

I'm on the bumper as the others have no sense of speed now.

Venom Hot lap doing my head in lol - Can only manage pretty much bang on 1:17, think I might turn ghosts off as they tend to put me off most of the time

Where you see the whole car in front of the camera. I personally hate the in car view.

In-car view always.

Bumper view when I am taking the game seriously. But I use the cockpit view when I want that lovely next gen look and feel.

I drive in that third person type behind the car view.
The bumper view is the most thrilling though.

Can anyone in DS3 confirm or deny that it's just me where I'm not seeing the club accolade numbers moving. The driver accolades are working normally. Or has anyone from another club that regularly checks their accolades, noticed that their x miles left and x events left haven't been moving for a while?

DS3's have been stuck like this for nearly 2 weeks for me.

I'm still playing but doing some events to try build up my driver level a bit.

I don't seem to have the latest challenge either, I'm in the same club as mmpfb - DAgnasti .
I think I could see the challenge by going through my friends list but was unable to enter, there were only 8/9 participants last night so there might be few who've taken part recently that don't have the challenge...........or the initial buzz has worn off and they can't be bothered!
