... Holy shit guys the new weather is fucking incredible! My original plan was to try the Plus edition out, then buy the full game when the price dropped, but I caved in and bought it two weeks after release and was extremely happy with my purchase, and the fact that they've given us new tracks, events and cars as an apology for the issues (Which I ain't even mad about... I've had no problems with the servers or anything when I've been playing anyway, lol) is simply brilliant, gives us more content and stuff, and then this latest update where they've added the new weather system... guys, it's just... it's quite literally out of this world when you're playing it, it's just unbelievable! The next step, which I reckon would look AMAZING with this weather system, would be 3D support or something... and if this game gets Morpheus support, that'll be my reason to invest!

How much does it affect the handling?

This is a good question. Sure it looks fantastic.

I just did a test with the Hennesey Venom GT on Cayoosh point, a track I know like the back of my hand, 800km on it already according to the stats. First sunny, dry weather, easy win at semi-pro level with 2:24 finish time. Then heavy rain, took me 7 tries to finally be able to squeeze out a win again with 2:30 finish time. It's a lot more work to keep the car stable in corners and have to be careful of those minor corrections at high speed. Feels great.

I took a few shots while driving, it's crappy fb compression, still looks great. Awesome in motion.

Hey man, that's my favourite track too! You should try a comparison with the BAC Mono, I noticed quite the different during some of the sharper turns, and even some of the long stretch turns, I felt the wheels were gonna' go unless I made some corrections in my handling... it really did make it a lot more challenging despite knowing the track really well!

Same with the Venom, I have to slow down more in the sharp corners and be careful with the gas coming out of the corner. And I had a lot less control in that last green right turn before the finish too. I was in 1st the last 4 tries but kept sliding into the barrier.

Think I will rent this given the long wait now.

Played my first wet weather track - wow wow wow. Amazing, so tricky to drive but great fun.

Its an amazing addition, both visually and in terms of what it offers as a technical driving model. It is more awesome than I thought it would be.

Now Driveclub is seriously a GOTY contender for me.

Just played it with dynamic weather myself and holy moly! Amazing, feels great and looks awesome.
Going back at it now again. Had to come here to post that I am enjoying the game like crazy.
