Well it's been a fun week but I think I'm done. I had a chance of getting second for a while but it looks as if the scores have updated which has put me firmly into third (I think)

There's something about this game that makes it stand out from all the other racers I've played, it's not about the graphics but more the overall feel of it.

I've got a screen shot of the 13,210 which is obviously the challenge, but I scored the 13,489 first and didn't realise what was happening, so I've only got a screen shot of the 'progression' screen where you can see the score but it doesn't show what it was actually for ( so technically it could have been scored on anything)
I see you've since 'solved' this problem. Great score, all my best bits could get me there, but that level of perfection required now is giving me a headache.

I was talking about console. It doesn't blow me away like it does for others. But then I think f1 2015 looks incredible yet some think it look plain and hardly any different from last years even though it's been completely rebuilt from ground up.
Oh did you mean PC as in Project Cars. I misread it.

This mini championship has been a fun way of doing it. We should do more of these.

Yeah, after I calmed down I went back on to see if the scores were updating, saw that they were so gave it a go. When I saw you top but knew I had still beaten that score I was determined to set a better score. Took a while, but I eventually did.

So I'm happy again.

There's something about this game that makes it stand out from all the other racers I've played, it's not about the graphics but more the overall feel of it.
For me it's things like seeing a butterfly going over the windscreen while travelling at 150mph+. Great attention to detail.

This mini championship has been a fun way of doing it. We should do more of these.
Yeah, I've enjoyed it too. I wouldn't mind doing one of these very few weeks rather than always having a challenge on the go - it would free up some time for some other games!

With hindsight I maybe shouldn't have made the challenge with other cars the one that also had heavy rain though!

Well done Lisa. I thought we might have managed to take more than one point off you given that there were 5 challenges all at the same time, but obviously not.

Excellent time on Yedapalli btw, and I still don't know how you managed a 3:22 on Nilgiri.

Yeah, was a bit sadistic of you personally I wouldn't mind if we didn't have any race events as I prefer it when I don't have to content with the AI as well.

Anyway,was hoping my drift score might just give me a win but nope, you and Lisa came back to haunt me again! Well done with that score and to Lisa with the overall win. About time she won something

I wouldn't worry about that, 6 months later and I still can't do drifting!
It's not really 'racing' anyway is it?

Well done Lisa and claymore.
Thanks Matt, and thanks for making it interesting - pretty sure we were neck and neck and one point yesterday afternoon. At that point I realised the only thing I could improve on was the drift, as there was no way I was going to improve on the race.

And for some reason, the drift just 'clicked' yesterday, and I started scoring pretty consistently on it.

One other good point about doing these challenges is that I've now passed Ianm in overall fame score, only Lisa is above me in my friends list - just 80 million or so to go until I catch her!

I used to be pretty good at drifting on games like Gran Turismo and NFS, although the only drift challenge I have tried is the first BMW one, cant remember if its the 2nd or 3rd drifting point that I never seem to get anything

I've got the PS+ edition and I really need some help with this game.

No matter what the race I can't seem to finish higher than 9th place. It's hard to tell exactly what I'm doing wrong as I'm following the race lines of the cars in front as closely as I can. I do get a lot of tire squeal when I accelerate away after a corner but no idea how to smoothly accelerate away.

I know a lot of us have moved on slightly to other things, namely Rocket League... but a new game update has been released -

Our 20th update introduces ELITE Driver Levels, new club Leaderboards for every Tour event, updates to Club Challenges, a new 'Random event' feature for quick play, options to tune or disable the camera shake settings, filters for your Garage and Car Select menus, new Photo Mode filters and frames, and many more improvements to the game based on your feedback.

This game update also paves the way for the new PlayStation®Store updates coming on July 28 worldwide. http://youtu.be/yCSJesRDWXQ

Here are the full details of Update 1.20:

Download & installation:
» The update will happen automatically when you fire up the game (or you can "Check for Updates" on PS4 for the game).
» The update size is 0.5GB which brings the total size of all updates combined so far to 10.84GB.

What's included in Update 1.20:
» ELITE Driver Levels are now available above Level 60. You'll have to prove your skills on the track as well as reach the required number of Tour Stars and Fame Points to earn these ELITE Levels! Every new Driver Level has a reward too.
» New 'Random Event' in DRIVE lets you quickly get behind the wheel and try something different. It's perfect for creating new Challenges!
» Club Challenges now show all Club Members participating and individual leaderboard positions to make it more rewarding and competitive for everyone taking part.
» New Club Leaderboards for every Tour event: go and get your Club ranked in your favourite events as soon as you update the game!
» Improved camera shake and new Gameplay Settings option to adjust the camera shake intensity - or turn it down completely for a silky smooth drive.
» New Gameplay Settings option to turn Face-offs on or off, for those of you who prefer the pure thrill of the race without any distractions or extra opportunities for earning Fame.
» New Garage options to filter the vehicles so that you can more easily find the car you're looking for.
» Adds new filters and frames to Photo Mode.
» Adds the ability to toggle ghosts on and off in Time Trial and Drift mode, by using left on the D-Pad.
» Stunning new #PS4share photo added to the loading screen (Credit: http://bit.ly/1I4UI8V).
» Updated Credits with personal messages, special thanks and new members of the team!
» Includes general improvements for game performance, stability and usability.

Update 1.20 Add-ons (available for download from PlayStation®Store on July 28 worldwide):

» Adds support for the Horsepower Expansion Pack (download from PlayStation®Store) - which includes the Horsepower Car Pack and Horsepower Tour Pack.
» The Horsepower Car Pack includes: Ferrari LaFerrari FXX K, McLaren P1 GTR, Nissan GT-R NISMO, Renault Mégane R.S. 275 Trophy-R and the Ferrari FXX Evoluzione.
» The Horsepower Tour includes 11 new Events and 5 new Trophies.
» Collect every star in the Horsepower Tour to earn a new bonus Livery.
» Adds support for the UniteInSpeed Tour Pack (download from PlayStation®Store).
» The UniteInSpeed Tour Pack includes 11 new Events and 5 new Trophies.
» Collect every star in the UniteInSpeed Tour to earn a bonus Livery.
» Adds support for two new livery packs coming to PlayStation®Store. Each Livery Pack contains 5 new livery patterns to customise your cars with.

What else we're working on (stuff coming after 1.20):

» Private lobbies! This is our main focus now that the servers are running smoothly and the PS+ Edition of DRIVECLUB is live.
» DRIVECLUB companion app: We'll have more news on this soon.
» More free cars: There isn't a new free car coming in July but we've got some awesome cars lined up for you in August and September!
» More Cars & Tours: The packs coming in July mark the end of the Season Pass but not the end of DRIVECLUB! We have much more coming so stay with us.
» More Game Updates: We're committed to keeping the game fresh and enjoyable for you, so we will continue to make improvements and add features based on your feedback. Please keep sharing your thoughts with us to help us continually evolve the game around you.

The companion app and private lobbies are 'in development' apparently.

Or the ability to jump and fly through the air would definitely be appreciated.

I'll go back to this when the packs are out next week, and will be interested to see what they do next month too.

But other than that prob won't play it much until private lobbies are out.
