I didn't do one single clean lap. Bumped at least once in every attempt. Some areas let you get right close to the scenery, others caused you to hit a rock & spiral through the air 50586369 times 🙈

Wow, you mean you actually had one whole crash in 5 days???

I lost count of the number of times I totalled it there. There's also a tree on the left at the same point which if you hit it you just stop dead.

Nice intro to the video btw.

Oh I had many more than that, but that was my favourite for being able to style it out and casually drive away.

The DC theme pack for Sharefactory is a good bit of kit, shame it's missing Japan content though.

Haven't tried the new Share Factory theme yet. 4th & 5th place finishes aren't worth saving 😢

Good job on the challenge Lisa, I just couldn't keep up with you along the top (where you had the crash you posted) I couldn't keep enough speed through the right hander at the start of it. Pretty close for 2nd to 4th though, although I know E5 got a 1:09.8 that didn't take. Well done guys.

darfi02 is up next, if not then probably on to TommyNooka as slw hasn't taken part this time round.

Trying to divide my team between DC and PC, so difficult coming back to DC driving style! I'm hoping PC has helped improve me, although so far that isn't the case! Great last challenge by the way!

I'll try to keep playing. It's just I've been watching a lot of movies recently and then keep going to battlefield.

What do u think of manual gears?

Had a go and probably could get used to it. I am slower on same track than with auto but wonder if I got used to it if there's time to gain.

The reason I tried is that I was talking to someone about car games in general and he was highlighting that on shooters I get used to multiple buttons so why on racers should it not be the same.
I see his point but miss a gear change and it's curtains.

Never bothered with manual gears in any driving game I've played. I just like to keep it simple which is why I'm not too eager to give Project Cars a go either. I guess theoretically you may be able to gain some time but I wouldn't imagine it would be a huge amount.

Sure I read somewhere the auto gears in DC produce very very good shifts, and you would need to be really good at judging when to shift to go faster in manual. I've toyed with manual a bit with drifting challenges, where faster does not always equal better.

Old one fixed. A computer shop close to me is doing it for €60. That's a big come down from the €220 quoted by Sony. Dropped it into them today. Should have it back next week.

Different month, same old copy and paste notes. Some of this, like the new accolades and private lobbies should be here now, not stuck in a seemingly indefinite 'coming soon' state. Plus only 5 new levels coming this month, really?? Everyone's going to hit that new max straight away, where's the reward to separate the ones that've sunk in hundreds of hours? I was expecting they'd be doubling it to level 100.

Miaow!

But it is just getting more and more embarrassing for them.

As for the content, being as kind to them as possible I suppose they need to concentrate on the dlc content for those that bought the season passes, and then also do fixes, new functionality as they can.

But I had my first go on multiplayer time trial the other night, and it was ace. It just made me want private lobbies even more. While I know they've said it's coming, it was f'ing stupid not to put it in the game from the start.

I've been playing a lot of Project Cars online in private lobbies with a couple of my pals & it's really fun. We done a 3 lap race of Nurburgring in go karts in the rain last night, it was crazy. Can't believe that they've still not implemented the in Driveclub, 7 months after release!

I do quite like online on DC but I hate hyper cars. I truly prefer running the earlier batch of cars like golf or even bmw. Love the time trial as if you get a decent position you can pause and just watch the times to see if you need to go back out again. It feels like an F1 qualify session
