It's not for me man, I don't like sim racing and I don't like handling like that. It just gets boring. Need for Speed Underground 2 and the first Most Wanted and Carbon pretty much held me down.
Driveclub is much more arcade handling than sim. Its basically ridge racer where the focus is on mastering drifting properly with a little bit of sim sprinkled in.

Yeah maybe something like NFS with it's more arcade like handling would suit you. Driveclub was a little different in terms of handling. Inertia, speed and getting a feel for the tracks is what will make you good at it. Once you get the hang of it it's pretty nice. Sounds like you drove a hyper car or one of the slower hatchbacks and called it quits. Those are imo the worst cars in the game for newcomers.

Trying the ps plus edition. Thinking i might upgrade to the full game. How much is the season pass?
Season Pass is $25. You can get the season pass alone with the PS+ version and you'll basically get access to cars and liverys and tracks that are in those specific tours. The season pass was damn good imo. Got a lot of content added and I didn't even finish it.

Keep practicing. Basically when you hit a corner, you should try and not hold onto the throttle while drifting. You gotta sort of practice. It's hard to put in words. Just keep trying. I've did some nasty drifts with some cars.
I mean should i be braking or hand brakinf? I literally have no clue :lolbron:

You want to hit the turn and let go of the acceleration and use handbrakes. Like just keep doing it and you'll get a feel for what I'm saying. You don't want to floor it while drifting. Also don't hold the handbrake the whole time. You have to get a feel for when to let go and the car if done properly will drift nicely until it completes the turn.

So I tried this shyt out. At first I was diggin the visuals. But then once you see how restricted you are to the courses, and the fact that means all you have is the gameplay

Then you realize that @Fatboi1 has tricked you into wastinig 30mins of your life on this piece of shyt game
If there was no other racing games in existence, then this would be a decent game
The story is Tru :francis:
