Sometime last week I had one of the very rare occasions where an online wasn't a crash fest. Hot hatches at Tamil Nadu saw me in a Mini GP against a couple of Golf GTI's. There was a bit of door bashing but it was a fair fight. I might've finished 3rd, but it shows there are people out there that can have a good clean race as the 3 of us left the rest of the pack in the dust.

The next race at Trotternish in Sports with different people saw me just decimate the pack.

When are we going to find out what this fast car is?

It should be sometime today according to the FB post yesterday. They usually update with this kind of stuff after office hours, so anytime from now on really.

Yeah, @AudiMan2011 I've had a few clean races too (and I don't go online very often) so it's a pleasure to race like that as the tracks are technical enough to keep it interesting.

OK thanks it's just like Christmas every time a new car is unveiled for Driveclub

Looks like the hotlap at Tamil Nadu was sat to the left on their FB page...



Still no view of the car though

Judging by Evo's reply to people on FB it could be the Koenig One:1

Here's the full res version of the video's thumbnail. That wheel definitely looks like it's from a Koenigsegg.

 

[AudiMan2011]

Here's a One:1 wheel:

The orange paint seems odd in the picture though as I don't remember it being on any Koenigsegg.

Another teaser image Koenigsegg One for sure

GTPlanet...doing it's stuff 👍

Yup

Also Rushy mentioned just now that they got someone in to do that world record lap. I'm wondering if it was Kie25 as he lives fairly close to where Evo are based.

Wouldn't that be a great day out

I'm glad it isn't the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. It had way too much appearances in racing games over the last years and personally I always disliked the handling of the car (in games of course). Besides Koenigegg, thankfully EvolutionStudios is interested in putting cars in the game that no one never heard of.

First ever game appearence for the One:1 ?

No
First game is NFS Rivals as Free DLC

 

[FLX1981]

To be honest, I respect Koenigsegg but their cars always leave me cold. *shrugs* I hope the other cars that will be revealed tomorrow will be sexier...

Yes you're correct, nice to have the fastest car in the world though.

Didn't expect the F50 to join. When was the last time it was represented in a game?

Should be fun comparing the Vuhl to the other track cars. Jag will be drift-tastic.

Pretty sure i used it a lot in Forza 4.

Forza. Need for Speed.

 

[FLX1981]

You would have to be a Vuhl to care about any other car than the F-Type.

(sorry, couldnt help myself )

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

I'm fairly pleased with that car pack. Although the Corvette Z06 smells a bit of "PD/GTRness".

 

[Jawehawk]

That frustrating moment where the servers go offline right at the moment you've beaten the 1st place on a challenge...

On a positive note, the upcoming update and DLC looks brilliant. Bit disappointed that replays aren't ready yet, but yet another new track is a very welcome surprise. Does the update arrive a week before the DLC?
