I thought the suspend/resume function was messing it up for me the other day but even after a complete power down, I thought the servers were ok when I connected after loading it up again but they went down 10 minutes later. Played up all week for me. Can't see the app ever getting released as they've been saying for 5 months they're working on the servers but they are still crap

Well the servers are working enough to enable challenges, but good luck getting a time or score to save. Getting really annoyed that for all the server maintenance and updates they keep doing, they're STILL having these problems.

No way can they introduce an app or put it on PS+. Surely it can't be that hard to get the servers working well enough to save times instantly, or maybe they just don't want to spend money investing in more. Imagine cloud-only gaming, no way would that work well enough!

As happens, major server updates are happening today. Driveclub will be offline as of 11am for up to 8 hours.

As one hasn't been set up yet, I took it upon myself to send invites to the first event of season 2 of the DS Driveclub Championship.

First up is the event on Chungara Lake using the new Wombat Typhoon (5 day challenge)

Enjoy!

Lift off oversteer ahoy! No corner cutting penalties though, should be interesting.

Is there not? Didn't realise that! Was the first time I used the buggy & was trying to keep it on the road. Will need to have another shot going off road!

That was the killer twist, that the buggy is free from the normal boundaries, so you can explore DC in a whole new way.

I put in a time 2 seconds faster than everyone else on that first challenge with the buggy after realising you could just cut the corners!!
Didn't last long though, bloody ghost gives the game away!

Could you go to Single Event > Time Trial and see how it's done by whoever has the world record ?

Had a few laps on the challenge, the buggy is pretty good fun once you get used to it.

You need to be quite careful going off road though, there are some annoying rocks around the place.

Well I've had a very productive first week of holiday...all 675 stars obtained.

Some of the events were awful/brilliant:

- last race in the elements trophy ( blinding blizzard )
- 13 lap race in Midnight
- 8 lap race in a monsoon in Pacesetter ( I think )

There are some sadistic people at Evolution who thought up those events.

Oh, btw, all of those attempts on the current challenge are not all mine, my 6 yr old wanted a go. And no, he didn't set my fastest time, his best was a 1:16. Nice time Lisa. How come when ever you set a good time on a challenge your ghost always hides???

Congrats claymore. I'm working through the tours too. Just finished off the two free DLC packs, now working my way through Pacesetter.

As for the current challenge, I haven't seen a single ghost yet.

I've gone off the game just now. Any time I do get on I've been playing bf4. I'll be back at some point no doubt

Great job! Yeah I'm not fond of the endurance race obsession they've got going on recently, not that they're not doable, just the mild annoyance of the conditions and keeping the focus to get the required number of face-offs done.

I was having the opposite problem yesterday - I had your ghost, my best ghost and my best ghost of the session all doing their best to put me off. I see the latest server update has made all the leaderboards go all screwy.

Good to see that a few more people have attempted the challenge, I was worried for a while there was only going to be a handful of us this season!

I was 15th yesterday on the global leaderboard for a time that didn't even get me the accolade I was going for. I like to think the leaderboards were being entirely accurate

Leaderboards not loading at all this morning & faceoffs are screwed too. Every lap I do I need to do the same face off & set a score which resets the following lap. I don't know what they done with the server downtime recently but they're worse than ever.

On a positive, I'm only 2 stars from completing everything. The Venom Hotlap 2 & Mazzanti TT. No matter how many times I've tried, I can't get the final star on those events

In your face venom hotlap! Come to the end of my tether on the challenge though, has become a `how close can I get to the invisible wall on the last two corners' for me.

Finally completed venom hotlap 2 this was after a hour of going round the track non stop & even getting a warning for cutting a corner. I was lucky to have 3 race line face offs too so I knew the best way to take the corners. Finally, 100% http://i.imgur.com/HHsogHd.png

Persistence paid off in the end, congrats!

Your challenge has just ended, results page 1 and page 2.

Rumours of me getting lax were greatly exaggerated!

Well done. I forgot all about the challenge after I sent it as I got a PS3 again during the week and had been mostly playing that. Now the tours are out the way, I can concentrate more on doing better in future challenges.

How are the points scored? Who's next up?

Yuffie sorts all that out.

This was the list claymore posted a few pages ago, but swapping you and gilly around, since you didn't hang about with getting the season started and gilly going off the game for a bit.
