My land rover did great (no upgrades) Not sure about the Alfa I had a stock Golf for that and they were the closest races.

The golf is a piece of fail compared to the Alfa cars.

Its terrible for A7 use, particularly in time trials.

The Alfa Brera's weakeness is its slow 0-60 acceleration, but once you get past that it accelerates faster and as a much better top speed and handling than the Golf does.

i only had lvl2 upgrades when i did the ibiza cup its really not that hard

Found out that one of the pre-order versions came with the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport which is significantly faster than any of the other cars in the game. As a result there's no point in competing in any of the CRC / MP for A1 / unlimited cars unless you got the right version.

Have to admit feeling more than a little bitter right now.

Dig the Audi TTS for the A6 races. Nice car. Tried the others and it felt the best in the category overall. The Subaru is great but the handling leaves a bit to be desired.

Agreed enjoyed the TTS in the A6.

The first car I bought is still going strong (the GT-R) and won me the A2 easily

Won the buggy for 100% discovery and it's nice off and on road. EDIT: Oops I mean finding all the wrecks. BTW I got a C2V for finding all the wrecks in hawaii 1 *doh*

Still haven't bought a decent car even with a million+ in the kitty - Any recommendations guys ?

you know the classic slot machine with the fruits, it seems you can only win money on that but its slow going

very slow

the "high life" with 9 lines is probably the most profitable.. :eek:

Purdy · 17 Feb 2011 at 17:58

So what is the verdict on this game?
Very mixed from early reactions i saw.

anyone provide an update on multiplayer? recall tdu1 as very buggy (impossible to meet up etc).

maxilive · 17 Feb 2011 at 18:12

Just to let everyone know that the PC patch is out now

Clubs are fixed I think...

Multiplayer has been fine for me and was on TDU1 as well but you essential need everyone with a Open NAT anything less than open and your going to experience some issues.

just spent 2hrs on the "high life" and won 55k playing with 9 lines.. i did notice tho that at x.40-x.50mins in every hour i seemed to win more/bigger prizes :] started at 18.01 so it had nothing to do with the time i started unless it goes big every 40mins.. its just a guess tho.
