No, because the standard handling model has the brakes set-up to be far too effective so you gain significant time which you cannot recoup. Rushy said you will be slower.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the new Scotland circuit and the several variants in which its playable.
Old Town 02 in particular is rather enticing. I had a substantial amount of fun flying through the village centre in the McLaren P1 GTR. Seemingly, I broke both the forward and reverse world records in the process of doing so.
Mind you, I don't think I'll remain there for very long.

Thanks guys, I had a chat with Rushy on Twitter and he just said I should restart the update. Worked and downloaded.
I only had a few minutes to play today but here's my views thus far:
Hardcore mode I still need to test out more but so far I picked up that the cars feel weightier now, braking is not as good as Non-Hardcore and of course.... Bigger skids
As for the new cars they're nice. The R34 was pleasant but my lovely blow off note and RB26 wail seemed like it was missing.
The Civic Type R is fun and a little interesting on Hardcore mode. I LOVE the Civic's blow off note.

Drifting is much easier in hardcore mode, and a lot of the time there's no need at all to use the handbrake to initiate a drift. In fact even doing time trials I end up getting drifting points in many cars where I never got any at all before.
On a counter steering related note I find that cockpit view is pretty much required for me in many cars in hardcore mode (it was really my preferred view before anyway) since I'm more precise and slides are easier to catch when I can see the steering wheel (I also use motion controls).

I still find it a bit too hard to get most cars to rotate. I feel like the tires are a bit too sticky for what I want to do. Most times to initiate a drift I'm using alot of inertia and a little bit of handbrake. I shouldnt need the handbrake at all to initiate one. Still having alot of fun with it tho, worlds better than before.

In terms of motion, it looks better. In terms of visual detail, which Driveclub prides itself on, it makes games look worse.

I have only tried the Peugeot Onyx in hardcore mode and the differences are minimal.
* Need more braking distance
* Cars tends to understeer more
* Can carry less speed through corners
* Need to be a bit more gentle on the throttle.
I still think that the handling model is very forgiving. However need to try other cars to see if it is the same case for them.

This is what is really annoying me about HC mode.
There is literally no 'reason' or logic in using it. I was 90% sure we'd have Hardcore playlists or something in that vein! Those using HC mode will be 95% likely to have done everything DC has to offer so if you arent doing random challenges its a bit of a waste.
Won't be surprised to see more HC support patched in, or rather I hope it is.

I have done laps around different tracks so I can beat Nick's and Mikey's times and I beaten one of Mike's times and two of Nick's times. The lap times between Mike's and mine's at AHR with the FXX K with the aids on was close(1:24.040 and 1:25.145(My time)). I beaten the other times at oliver's landing and Sentraltind.

Each region is largely autonomous with different games and schedules (including days they deem suitable for game releases) I remember Evolution trying to get patch releases to be simultaneous in the past but had problems; the monthly updates always came out later for Asia and it took something like ten months to narrow that gap down.
Nope, not in private lobbies it isn't. You have the choice of enforcing it on or off or leaving it as optional.

Yes I did, you should go to the "Check for Update" option. It should start downloading.
A few laps in with Hardcore Mode on the new tracks with the SLS Black is fun. Drifting is enjoyable, the persistent understeer less so. For racing, not a big fan of the new mode. Its much better for drifting in my opinion.
Skyline sounds awesome, forgot the speedometer reads in km/h, was surprised I was doing 180mph at first glance.
