Probably cars going up on a barrier or some other inanimate object, like motor cycle ring of death.

Apparently. ..and I don't have game so don't know. ...going into corner full speed without touching brakes and ricocheting around. Folk saying you come back out at about 90% power.

Pretty hard to do without earning a corner or collision penalty. If people are doing it then they should be easy to spot and overtake on the corners.

Played briefly last night - and connected first time without issue.

Did the Scottish time trial which I did first time with my new Golf (thank OMTT for the tip)

Started a few sports car races, which feel much quicker. I guess it is partly due to the cockpit camera which I don't usually use, but I was super impressed with the speed. The track design on the game is really good - it is, despite the issues, a really solid racing game - I am enjoying it.

Oh - and welcome onboard Ironleg.....

Like I say denzil I don't have game but reading constant on it. Dying to try it but sounding like it could still be a few weeks away.

It penalises you depending on the speed you are doing I think. I was limited to 40mph when the AI clouted me going round a corner properly. In another race I was limited to 90mph when I hit a barrier doing about 95mph.

Hi,
I took the last spot on DS 2 last night during one of the brief server up-times (ironleg_gt) which i hope is OK with everybody?
Not the fastest by any means but fairly steady, plus being over 50 means I'm probably the oldest but enjoy my racing, both sim and game.
Some of my scores last night were lost I think, but I'll try and add as much as i can, quite enjoying D/C so far.

Dave
I'm close behind you in the age stakes

I'm finding all the off line time really annoying. I'm not playing as much as I had hoped as I've probably only got online for about 5 minutes in total and I don't want to waste driving time if the points aren't added to the DS 1 club total. Hopefully the situation will improve soon.

I've just had the same notification come through on my PS4 too! Maybe this is the light at the end of the tunnel us DC fans have been waiting for.

Was just coming here to post the same about the bonus pre order DLC. Hopefully this will help me win the few elusive time trials and the semi pro championship.

I can't download them still after getting the notification. The ones in my download list still give me an error so I deleted them. Went too tart to download them & they're not downloading either and I can't see them on the store either

Also get logged in for a second or two and then disconnected again. F**k it, away to play Peggle 2 instead

I thought I had the same issue however it showed them as downloaded when I navigated to Drive Club, entered the menus and found them under the add ons option.

I rekon if I didn't have infamous to contend with this week I might have caved and bought this. Unfortunately wife and kids got lego movie game at same time so struggling to get a shot and only up to 34% on infamous....unless story mode isnt the 100% and that is for everything in game.

The broken downloads will still be in your list but as soon as I entered the code and accepted they were there. And there's some pre order bonus on the points you earn. Don't know how long they last.

I'm off to play something else too. Might as well wait for the servers to come back up on this.
