Messing around with carts so far....fun fun fun.....10 laps and hard as hell to keep it on the track.....this game is going to take me quite a while to get used to using a controller.
This game is a real treat. The weather effects especially lighting blows my mind. Mind blown when doing a short race at dusk in Belguim only to see the stars shine on the last lap.
I'm not gonna turn this into a "Should I buy this" thread, but I have a question for you guys who are more experienced with racers. I bought DriveClub for cheap and have really been enjoying it. But I don't like the grind to unlock cars, the lack of a career mode, and the lack of customization within settings. I'm a total novice to racers and have been steadily getting better with DriveClub. There's something about it that just isn't right to me. I was thinking about trading DriveClub in for Project Cars because of all the things I mentioned above. It seems like I can tune the settings until I can figure stuff out, which I can't seem to do in DriveClub. Does that seem like a worthwhile swap?

There is much more under the hood with project cars. I say go for it.

That's a tough call. I like DriveClub a lot, but I think Project Cars is deeper and has more future potential. I may be wrong. DriveClub has gotten many cars and even an entire new zone for dl. Project Cars is in need of more cars, and DriveClub has many more point to point races. If I knew Project Cars will have more cars and tracks in the future, then I would say make the trade. But if DriveClub sort of feels wrong to you, then most def pick up Project Cars. It is a quality game.
PC is much more sim and will require lots of practice to be fast. If you are into true sim racing I would say make the swap.

I frankly don't know if I'm into sim or not. I've always gotten frustrated with the fact that I can't just pound the accelerator and gave up.
But I've given it more of a shot with DriveClub and am really enjoying figuring stuff out.
Related question, can I play any track in a time trial so I can get used to the handling? And is there an option to turn on a driving/racing line to help me practice taking turns and breaking correctly?
For those on the fence about this game I'd say that it's worth every penny. My game finally unlocked and after doing some time trials with the Zonda R and McLaren P1 for a couple hours I've gotta say this has to be the best racing game I've played. I'm totally hooked. Tracks look gorgeous as do the cars both inside and out. Physics are impressive and cars handle well (and I haven't even toyed with the tuning options yet!). Customization in terms of settings and such is phenomenal. Being able to fine tune your sensitivities for all aspects of your wheel and/or gamepad is a huge plus. I've been using the setup LingeringRegime posted for the gamepad (I've tweaked a few settings to my personal preference). Gives just the right amount of feel without making everything to twitchy or arcadelike.
Loving the helmet cam as well. Only camera I use. I adjusted the apex look setting to 80. Really like that feature.
I've yet to dive into career mode or any other mode aside from the Free Practice and Time Trial sections.

I just had my best run out of the couple hours I've been playing with the McLaren P1 on Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya GP. I'm running my game with all possible assists turned off, real tire and fuel usage and manual transmission. I've always been an aggressive racer hence my really late braking. I still need to work on improving my lines and downshifts but thought I'd share this run nonetheless.
And yes, that's me deliberately blowing my engine at the end lmao.
