I've been on it an hour and a half now, doing only the hot lap and my best time is 1:16:496 but I lost 0.836 seconds on the last sector compared to my previous best lap. So I know I can do it.
My sector times are 22.425, 26.870 and 27.201. It's the last sector that's getting me. |

If only the PS4 worked the way it was shown when it was revealed, I could get someone to take over my game and do it for me! lol
I've disconnected from online & I get my ghost car to race against so it made it easier to see how I was doing. I shaved 2 seconds off doing this but still not quick enough. When connected, I rarely get my ghost. Maybe 1/20 races |

Some of the cars are such a pain to drive. Id rather drive my own car around the tracks.

For the venom hotlap I found best way to find time was a sideways slide into the first corner. Keep trying, it can be done!

1:16:8 is the best I've got it down to with Ian's first corner side-slam trick. Just never look at youtube, there are people in the 1:14s doing it normally.
I'll have to give ghost hunting offline a shot.

I've gone against the first corner slamming method. I can do it faster taking the corner normally. I can do the first sector in under 22 and a half seconds so I don't think that's the problem. The last corner gives me awful trouble.

using the ghost as a target helped me a lot. I really don't know why it doesn't show all the time when you're connected. If I got half a second behind, I'd restart as I knew I couldn't catch up.
I used the side crash technique on the first corner from when I started going for the star but it was the 5th corner with the huge flowerbed at the bottom that o kept getting caught out on. There's such a narrow margin between going over the bumps & getting a penalty for cutting the corner |

The ghost and knowing the sector times helps a lot.
My best sector times - S1: 21:904 S2: 26:852 S3: 26:670 I'm no mathematician, but that comes to less than 1:16 to me. The problem is being able to string it together in one lap. Edit: Yes!!! Finally done it! ![]() http://i.imgur.com/M461NRM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/EfsGile.jpg Made sure to log back in before the screen that tallies up all the points for the club so that they counted. |

I'm beginning to struggle with some of the races. Having to re do them time after time and I start to become bored with it. first race I had to re do was 'punching above your weight'. I kept coming in second and I'm struggling to control the 'hyper cars'. I end up fish tailing and losing control, especially when being rammed into from the A.I cars.

You're not alone ix. It's essentially too dirty for me. I can't drive how I think you should race. Taking me a bit to adjust

Couple of questions if anyone doesn't mind answering:
Does this game have mostly point-to-point or mostly circuits? Mostly full grid races or lots of time trials, one v ones, drift challenges etc? Genuine brake & accelerate zones or just sliding round corners? I'd really like a game which appreciates circuit racing against a full grid, rather than the recent fashion to make every game a series of time trials and challenges with the occasional race thrown in. I certainly don't mind the occasional time trial or special challenge but the essence of the game should be full grid racing, I think. |

I certainly don't mind the occasional time trial or special challenge but the essence of the game should be full grid racing, I think. The tour is divided into races, time trials and drift events. I say mostly races, with a good few time trials and a small few drift events. The slower car events use genuine braking and accelerating but the faster cars are better at drifting so I ended up sliding around a lot of corners. Going by what you're saying I think you'd like it. |

I still can't believe there is no PS+ version. I think most people now, and i'm starting to include myself in this, is just starting to look ahead at other games coming out. Christmas is in 8 weeks. I think the DriveClub experiment has failed. I just can't see people taking notice as we head into November and many big releases coming up.

Thanks Yuffie
Think I might still wait for the PS+ edition to arrive as a taster, but there are others on the way aren't there? Project Cars, the Crew? Wonder if I'm better off just waiting a few weeks/months |

2 stars left. Leaving Venom to last. I think I will get that eventually.
The one I'm finding more frustrating is the Chungara Challenge. Nearly a second to find and it seems nigh on impossible. What a horrible horrible circuit. Is there a specific car you guys could recommend for this one? |

Reached driver level 50 tonight so now all my XP is going towards the Digital Spy 1 which currently sit at level 28. Hoping these challenges are made available soon so I can go on and get the platinum for this before the DLC hits

Yeah, earn about 6 million XP going for accolades. Some are worth 400k
