People who really played the game = the game is a lot better than what the score tells.

People that didn't play, saw reviews or played few minutes = the game is mediocre and deserves the low score.

Which to believe? Choices to make.

i have the game and have been playing it fir hours. the game is fun but nothing special. my score for the game would be close to some of the reviews that reviewers gave. i would give driveclub a 7/10  which is still a good score.  For me the game drivng mechanics i way to simplistic , which provides no challenges when racing , even in cockpit view. The only challenge that the game brings is when the weather comes out.  Plus for me the track design so far are quite bland and boring . 

I would probably agree with you on the first couple of hours. The hot hatch and sports class didn't do it for me either, nor were the early tour races that spectacular. I think a lot of reviewers based their opinion on the start of the game. Still there are a lot of people that enjoy the slow easy classes as I see plenty challenges pop up with those categories, and they're not bad for drift challenges.
The tracks are really designed for the super and hyper classes. Luckily it doesn't take long to open up the game to where it gets really good. The driving mechanics are definitely not simplistic in those. There is plenty challenge without weather in the higher classes.

It's the same with most racing games anyway. Forza Horizon didn't get good for me either until levelling up to pro and a bunch of upgrades. At least both games have something to look at while getting through the slow stage.
