There might not be mechanical car damage or tyre simulation, but overcook a corner and your race could be over there are no handbrake turn rescues here. Once you get into a driving rhythm, it quickly becomes clear that Driveclub isn't an arcade racer. ^ We're still waiting for dynamic weather, but when it arrives it promises to look spectacular Eventually a dynamic weather system will add rain and snow, with conditions (and handling) changing mid-race, but even as it stands Driveclub feels like it has much more variety than Forza Motorsport 5's 17 locations. Night races are equally spectacular, with the stars in the sky accurately mapped using data from NASA. This presents its own challenge to drivers: racing into the sunset can be blindingly bright, obscuring your view of the track, while exiting a dark tunnel into the daylight can take a second before your eyes adjust to the brightness. The developer has gone above and beyond here, uniquely generating the skies every time you play with fully 3D rendered clouds to accurately diffuse light from the sun as it moves across the sky. There’s plenty of variety, with five distinct locations, each with eleven separate tracks, and that’s before you take the dynamic lighting system into account.
