I hate to say it, but after having hands-on time with Drive Club it's not even a contender.

I wrote my hands on impressions in another thread:

I'm having a hard time with Drive Club.

I love Arcade Racers, this is not an arcade racer. This is some bad hybrid I did not want. The most frustrating thing is the AI.
Cars hit you from behind, and you lose momentum but the AI doesn't slow down in the slightest. If you did the same thing
you'd be off the track. I have had far to many races end in a loss  because the AI hit me from behind and then they passed
me because they do not slow down but I did.  That is not fun, it is extremely frustrating.


It's also nearly impossible to pass people sometimes without hitting them and then you be penalized for speed and the AI
is not.

Controls are a problem as well. The cars grip at an unrealistic high level. You can't force drifts to save your life. Well maybe
 you can but it's incredibly difficult. 

This wasn't the racing game I was expecting. On the bright side it's by far the most beautiful and graphically impressive
racing game so far.
