Congratulations again Lisa! You were uncatchable.

And cheers Yuffie for sorting out the points once more. Hopefully you'll be able to get in on the action in season 3.

By popular demand, (well, just speedy really), here's the full season review.

Two apologies:

1) It's a bit on the long side - per a suggestion from someone it includes every challenge.
2) Sorry Lisa, it's all in jest, honest.

No probs. I've paid Sony to fix the PS4 but just have to find a box to send it back in.

Well done Claymore. Very entertaining read

Couldn't get on for the last challenge.
Stupid BT have decided to work on the phone lines near me and nobody has any internet. Work could take up to two weeks
I've only got a 4gb tethering allowance on my phone so have to use it sparingly.

Well done Lisa, another faultless display showing everyone else how it's done. I kinda agree with claymore that you toy with our hopes of beating you before effortlessly setting a great time/score. That said, it's still loads of fun chasing your ghost around the track.

Nice season review again claymore. Didn't realise I missed an event 😊. I won't be making that mistake again.

Finally, thanks yuffie for the leaderboards, hopefully you'll be able to join in the fun again soon.

Roll on season 3 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Great stuff claymore. You're the Murray Walker of our generation. And yep, I did beat you in the end purely because of punctuality. One more event and I would have been done for.

I have two suggestions. One, Lisa should surely be docked about 26 points for her car's design secondly, was thinking it might be good to have a driving and a drifting challenge running side by side every week to change things up a bit. You could have two championship tables going. Some people might think that's a bit much though, just a thought.

Not giving yourself much of a margin for error there, are you?

My ideas:

- a 'constructors' championship - randomly selected pairs of drivers
- quick seasons - 10 challenges, all set at the same time, lasting 10 days, meaning you'd have to decide which ones to concentrate on and which just to set a time and move on.

That was a fun read! I don't actually mean to set out to provide false hopes, just how it plays out sometimes if I can't get on on the last day of a challenge. 'Step 3/worst result' was 'personal tragedy' week, but Driveclub was still a useful distraction. Just goes to show overall how nothing gets in the way of my participation.

... although if you want some actual hope, to quote Evolution/Driveclub... 'coming soon' - I have got some holidays abroad in the pipeline so the PS4 will be out of bounds.

Well done Lisa! Hope things have settled down for you a bit now.

I'm off on my hols next Saturday for 3 weeks so won't be able to take part in any challenges but still will be playing up to and after them. Project Cars private lobbies have been a fun distraction, can't wait for Driveclub ones!

Thanks to Claymore for the round up, excellent as usual and Yuffie for the scores and leaderboard, looking forward to racing against you soon!

» More Game Updates: We're committed to keeping the game fresh and enjoyable for you, so we will continue to make improvements based on your feedback! Please keep sharing your thoughts with us to help the game continue to evolve around you.

---------

Just more and more waiting. Seems they only want to add 5 new levels per update, so I guess I'll be dead by the time the levels catch up to my amount of fame then? Probably dead by the time they release Plus, App and private lobbies as well!

I wonder if they've fixed the leaderboard problems, only minor but it is annoying that the 'my friends clubs' leaderboard only seems to show your own club at the minute when there should be at least a couple of dozen. Also it bugs me how when you click through the leaderboards in the tour, it picks and chooses which of your friends you see on the main event page and doesn't show the proper top 10 of your friends until you click inside the event leaderboard.

- I can't actually check those minor peeves at the minute, got some poor AI mug doing the last 14hrs of a Le Mans race for me on Project Cars for that stupid 24hr trophy.

Just turned the game on. I'm up to level 60 now. STILL NO PRIVATE LOBBIES!!!! They're taking the piss now.

3 things which were shown after years of people wanting them:

Last Guardian
FFVII Remake
Shenmue 3

I expect private lobbies, PS+ edition & the app to be shown at E3 2020 at this rate

I still enjoy the game - just completed the latest packs last night - but it is annoying that we still don't have private lobbies, and now we're told we have to wait until after the PS+ edition is launched before we'll get them.

So on the one hand I don't want the PS+ edition as it'll likely screw the servers, but on the other hand I do as I want private lobbies and the app (which they've also said will be after PS+).

Rather annoying.

Im just starting to work my way through the Lambo & Torque packs as haven't really touched the game since Witcher 3 was released. Finding it hard to get used to it again but this is still my favourite racing game. Tried Project Cars for something different but I found it pretty boring.

RPM & Velocity packs are showing as coming soon, along with2 other packs coming soon, so this will keep me going until the new NFS in November

I don't know what you're all complaining about, they FINALLY fixed the 1 gear change animation for the Koenigsegg One. That's all I ever wanted

With the DLC finishing in July I'm not sure how much steam this game will have after that.

Actually that's probably when the ps+ version will launch to try and get a few more people in.

Although there's not many racing games on the horizon.

Unless you have an Xbox

I'm not sure why they are still bothering with the PS+ edition after all of this time.
They would be better off starting the sequel to the game

Mine did that last week. Can only be a Driveclub bug cos everything else was fine and after a reboot it was ok.

How about a 1 try challenge? You can practice as many times as you like but can only have 1 attempt to post a score. Could make it infuriatingly interesting!

Don't think that would work with the challenges no longer recording the number of attempts. Plus even if it did display the attempts everyone could just infinite restart until they know they're going to beat the target.

enforced cockpit view? ( I don't think anyone here uses it, so it would be a pita for everyone)

no ugly paint jobs?

strict rotation of time trial - drift - race?

challenges must have different environment settings than all previous challenges? (so we'd end up with heavy rain / snow, and probably at night)

Ignore the worst two results of each person when scoring the championship? (so that those that missed an event or two aren't penalised).

I use cock-pit view, that's why I'm so slow compared to you guys.
