Fierce_LiNk Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Well I've managed to set good times on the Canada and Chile race circuits, top 10. I even managed to top the global leaderboard on the Chile race circuit 3. If anyone fancies giving it a go. Driveclub Chile Race Track 03 Hot Lap: That's a really, really good video of your lap. What's your secret for the corners? Stay wide then gentle braking as you move to the inside or do you drift?
James Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 I try to hit the apex of all the corners as much as possible, definitely no drifting, I switched to manual gears which isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Only takes a few laps to know which gear you should be in. On the first corner of that lap I was dropping to third and staying as tight as possible.

I struggle with the drifting in this game and usually slow it right down for the corners. When I get it right, I can get some semi-decent times but can quite often get overtaken by the cpu.
James Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Also use the view I use if your using the chase camera you'll miss a shit ton of the apex's. Also the pagani zonda R has loads and loads of grip, you can really push it to the edge.
Jimbob Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Just about finished the Tour, tried my hands at the final tournament yesterday. Got 1 point short of winning it, which is a shame.
Fierce_LiNk Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Don't forget your free DLC today guys! I'll get that downloaded soon. Any news on when the weather patch is coming?
Cookyman Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Any news on when the weather patch is coming? Before Xmas.
somme Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 I can't figure out where to download the DLC from. I am very tired, that could be the reason. Do I have to open the game first?
James Posted November 27, 2014 Posted November 27, 2014 I can't figure out where to download the DLC from. I am very tired, that could be the reason. Do I have to open the game first? If you go the tour you will see a link to the shop, or click on the new tour and keep going until it says you need to download it.
Cookyman Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Just in case you don't know, challenges are now working on Driveclub - so all features are now fully functional. I've sent a few challenges out. The weather update will be out in a week or so. I'd imagine the PSPlus edition will be coming soon, probably early next year along with the replay feature. So if you haven't played in a while - now's the time to get back on. Edited December 4, 2014 by Cookyman
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I've been trying the challenge you set, @Cookyman. Maplewood Cananda 01, the beetle race. Your time was 1:02:392 My time was 1:02:933 I had you until the very last corner and I ran a little wider than I had hoped to. Just a few centimetres. Enough to cost me a few hundredths of a second and that was it. I almost cried. I had times of 1:06 to start with and then narrowed it down. 1:04...1:03...then 1:02:933.
Jimbob Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Saw the challenges sent out @Cookyman, would have had a crack at them but alas Far Cry. Nice to finally see that all the features are enabled for the game at last, sans weather which is coming.
Cookyman Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 I've been trying the challenge you set, @Cookyman. Maplewood Cananda 01, the beetle race. Challenges are rather fab eh? And stupidly addictive, you really start pushing your vehicles to the absolute limit!
James Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Bet it doesn't work for me..... I've been trying the challenge you set, @Cookyman. Maplewood Cananda 01, the beetle race. Your time was 1:02:392 My time was 1:02:933 I had you until the very last corner and I ran a little wider than I had hoped to. Just a few centimetres. Enough to cost me a few hundredths of a second and that was it. I almost cried. I had times of 1:06 to start with and then narrowed it down. 1:04...1:03...then 1:02:933. I beat @Cookymans time by a second or so, show us what your made of!
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 5, 2014 Posted December 5, 2014 Challenges are rather fab eh? And stupidly addictive, you really start pushing your vehicles to the absolute limit! I'll be spending a lot of time on that, then! I'm overall quite pleased with Driveclub. It's had tons of problems, but underneath it all is a great game. The problems are now disappearing and I hope people start to see it for the great game that it is. There's something just so extremely satisfying about the driving, but I can't figure out what it is. Bet it doesn't work for me..... I beat @Cookymans time by a second or so, show us what your made of! *cries*
Cookyman Posted December 7, 2014 Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) Any news on when the weather patch is coming? TOMORROW! @Daft has been patiently waiting on this! It's a thing of beauty! Edited December 7, 2014 by Cookyman
Jimbob Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 So the weather coming today, sweet. I'll be on giving it a whirl, i'm expecting the challenges @Cookyman.
Daft Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 TOMORROW! @Daft has been patiently waiting on this! It's a thing of beauty! You know me too well. I'M SO EXITED!! I actually snuck in a quick play on the weekend. Fuck, the revised penalties make this game so much better. IT'S ACTUALLY FUN NOW!!
Jimbob Posted December 8, 2014 Posted December 8, 2014 You mean they've fixed the penalty for the CPU smashing into you, thus you got the penalty.
