I prefer sims, but I can like semi-sim arcades, that give a more realistic driving sensation than purely arcade ones: the latter should be the easiest, but due to the wrong feedback and car behaviour (not to mention coins, stars, power-ups and other platform stuff I don't like in driving games), I suck at them more than at hard sims.
About DriveClub in particular: what I've seen up until now tells me it's a game a I could like. Graphically I surely like it, although not liking the sun in the face when I drive a real car, I don't particularly like that touch of realism in a game either.
