I think each challenge could last two days, and whoever comes last chooses the next event, track and car.

Damn you. And that's not other news. That's what we're talking about. So, current news or something.

I am a very bitter person.

Hopefully all this competitiveness will result in Digital Spy 1 starting to earn some more points. I think we have three active members, but two who don't seem to play anymore, so going to be a real struggle unless the new tour packs and season pass can coax them back in to play.

Evolution has released a short preview of Driveclub’s upcoming “Ignition” expansion pack, coming to the game next week, via the game’s Facebook page.

The trailer reveals the five new cars coming to Driveclub in the pack, which includes the absurdly expensive W Motors Lykan HyperSport. Founded in Beirut, Lebanon in 2012 and based in Dubai, UAE, W Motors says via its website that it’s the first Arab hypercar marque and explains that the hypercars it produces will be limited to just seven units per design. Its first, the Lykan HyperSport, has diamond-encrusted LEDs in the headlights and, with a price tag of USD$3.4 million, is one of the most expensive cars ever made.

The remaining four cars featured are the BMW M4, the Renault Twin'Run, the Caterham SP/300.R, and the KTM X-Bow R.
Diamond encrusted headlights. Wtf ?

Count yourself lucky, I've got one in my club - me. As three different PSNS. There are two other real members but they don't seem to have played for ages.

Bloomin heck. Felt a challenge thinking I'd 2 secs to find on omtt but now 5 on Lisa yikes.

What global position is that Lisa? Do you think No 1 is possible, which would be another 4 secs on your best time ?

This is why I like this game. Folk complain there's no tuning like GT, but at least I know we all have exactly the same car.
40-something when I last checked. 1 in the world is wayyy beyond what I can do. I could probably get another half a second as I clipped the wall on that red left hander at the start of the second sector.

I haven't played GT in years, but I never really got my head around the tuning other than adding stuff that added top speed. There was always too much on the go. I prefer this where it's about how you drive the cars rather than how many upgrades you've got, although I don't mind the basic upgrading that's in Grid or NFS.

Anyone know when this week these are dropping? The Twin'run looks super-cute.
The Americans get the new stuff tomorrow and we get it on Weds.

Ok, I've second spot gained. Lisa I'm coming for you. You're 6 tenths of a second faster than me. I was about to give up on this track but my controller went dead so I switched to my other one and the coldness of it has given me a new lease of life.

Edit: now that I'm chasing your ghost, I was a nice bit ahead of you up until the bridge but you're excellent on the third sector, and that happens to be my weakest part.

Yeah, by four hundredths of a second. We're 25 and 26 on the leaderboard.

Hmm. Ok. I'm just home.

I like e idea of run over a couple of days and loser picks next track and car, however if that person picked last time it should go to Next on list. I'm saying that as currently looks like me unless I'm missing folk from friends list.

Same ones here on the leaderboards at least. Probably more have it but haven't competed.

My own ghost is annoying me. Apparently my first sector time on my best lap is a 55.7-something, I've managed to get it down in the 54s with a best of 54.287, but I'm constantly losing time in the rest of the lap though. Let's just say that's one sturdy bridge...

Well there's at least 4 clubs so there's at least 25 of us with it, although some guys have traded it already.

We really need to encourage a slower player to join the challenges so I'm not last lol.

Thing is I'm better in the slower cars than the fast ones so major gulp.

The lap I've got recorded, I done great in the last sector. Then, when I try to beat my time, I beat the first 2 sections by about 2 seconds but completely balls up the last bit!

The last sector is the worst. So much can go wrong with the bridge and the last red flagged corner.

I've given up for tonight. My left thumb is in bits and my rage is off the charts.

Do starts make any difference in this game? Ie flooring it from the countdown as opposed to steady revs and hitting the right timing for the off. Etc.

Id be back on if it wasn't for wife and her lego batman.
