Only one word ” AMAZING”, this game is amazing, cars and bikes, challenges all around the world, time attack, races, tour, multiplayer, driveclub is the most nice arcade racing game of the last 10 years.
Not gonna be happy until I see; “Added support for Fanatec wheels”.
If they do another season pass I will buy it. The first one was probably the best value from a season pass in any game so far. It made me come back every update to do the new tours, drive the new cars and get the trophies.
It’d be nice if the Forza car packs came with new events and achievements too.
Cars and Bikes exist in separate areas of the game.
The addition of bikes is great! While purely arcade, the bikes are a lot of fun to ride and compete with across the various Driveclub locations. Well done!
Been waiting for this! Gonna try it out when I get home

The bikes look awesome. The Crew’s also getting bikes in a few weeks, can’t wait.
Can you race bikes alongside cars? I think you could do that in TDU2.
No. The bikes and cars are separated.
Darn it. I remember you could race them together in TDU2. I wish they’d bring that back…Maybe The Crew will do that?
