    Servers are closed, so you can't play so many DLCs. Gameplay and graphics are amazing—one of the best graphics for the PS4, but I can't play the full game in 2023.

    If it wasn’t for the delisting and server shutdown, it would be a contender for one of the best racing games on PlayStation 4. Atmosphere was beautiful, car list was great, the handling was amazing, and overall, if you want a Gran Turismo on PlayStation 4 before Sport, then this is the game for you. I give it a 9 out of 10 without the DLCs.

    First I need to say: never play SONY Gran Turismo 7 in "Ray Tracing enabled" mode, because the quality is terrible, it seems to be playing on a SONY PS3, the image resolution at the time of rendering seems to be reduced to 720p and it seems to be just stretched to 1080p/2160p.

    First I need to say: never play SONY Gran Turismo 7 in "Ray Tracing enabled" mode, because the quality is terrible, it seems to be playing on a SONY PS3, the image resolution at the time of rendering seems to be reduced to 720p and it seems to be just stretched to 1080p/2160p.

    And even in Performance mode, which will present the best graphics quality and resolution (it appears to be rendered at 1080p) still the graphics quality of the SONY Gran Turismo 7 game is absolutely disappointing, considering the 9.2 TFLOPs of graphics capacity promised by SONY for the SONY PS5.

    Just to give you an idea, the Take-Two GTA5 (SONY PS4 Pro version) looks better graphically than the SONY GT7 on the SONY PS5 console.

    In fact, running SONY Drive Club game (SONY PS4 version as it was never remastered even for SONY PS4 Pro), through Backward Compatibility mode on SONY PS5, SONY Drive Club still looks better graphically than GT7 on SONY PS5.

    When I say GRAPHICALLY, I'm referring to how real (close to reality) the image looks, I'm not referring to frames per second or resolution.

    Honestly, my disappointment is such that I would rather pay this price for the SONY Drive Club game remastered for SONY PS5 than this SONY Gran Turismo 7 game that disappointed me horribly in terms of Graphics Quality.

    SONY, forget about Ray Tracing, we want Quality Graphics!

    When it comes to gameplay, I still prefer SONY Drive Club. The only things I like about Gran Turismo 7 are the Museum, the Car Mall, and the fact that it's the same Car Simulator that follows the pattern of the Gran Turismo series, in addition to keeping the same Tracks from the series, as I did.

    But Graphically, the picture is so disappointing that I feel that I was assaulted by the high price charged by SONY for this SONY GT 7 game with these graphics that when playing on SONY PS5, it looks like they are actually being run by SONY PS4 Pro when it is running. in "Performance mode", and appears to run on a SONY PS3 when running in "Ray Tracing mode enabled".

    But the worst thing about a game, which is marketed in physical media, is the internet connection required to play, especially Career and/or Single Player mode.
    In fact, I really liked being able to play with split screen, me and 03 friends competing, with the screen divided into 04, using the same Console.

    That's why it's not worth buying the SONY PS5 or the SONY PS4... oh, how much regret.... The best is GT 6 on SONY PS3, there's no way... Besides, I have a 3D Projector with Active 3D glasses, and I have many Blu-ray Disc 3D movies, but only SONY PlayStation 3 supports 3D.

    SONY PS5 and SONY PS4/PS4 Pro will have an advantage over SONY PS3 only in the fact that it supports SONY PS VR, but the graphics quality on SONY PS5 should be much better than SONY PS4/PS4 Pro on VR.

    Anyway, the best game for SONY PS4/PS4 Pro & SONY PS5 is without a doubt the game: SONY Drive Club.
    The last best SONY Gran Turismo was GT6 for Career mode, and GT Sport for graphics.

    But between GT Sport and Drive Club, I prefer Drive Club, especially since Drive Club's graphics are better even than GT7's graphics (which are already better than GT Sport's graphics).
    That is, Drive Club is better than all games in the Gran Turismo series, including Gran Turismo 7, Drive Club is better, especially in graphics quality.

    GT7 is better than GT Sport in graphics quality, but in gameplay, GT7 is the worst game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.
    GT Sport is better than GT6 in graphics quality, but in gameplay, GT Sport is the second worst game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.

    GT6 is the best game in the history of the Gran Turismo series.
    On SONY PS3, there is no better racing game than GT6.
    On SONY PS4/PS4 PRO, PS5 there is no better racing game than SONY Drive Club, although it has not been remastered even for the PS4 Pro, so there will never be a remastered version for the PS5.

    The studio that produced SONY Drive Club was shut down by SONY for making the game stupidly better (in graphic quality) and better looking than any other racing game, humiliating the Gran Turismo series games in such a way that SONY shut it down. the Studio that produced Drive Club, in addition, SONY forbade the remastering of the Drive Club game for SONY PS4 Pro and SONY PS5, as the game was so graphically beautiful that it would make people repulse spending money and play Gran Turismo games.

    Gran Turismo Sport was released to try to make people forget about Drive Club, but the failure of "advance in graphics quality" between GT Sport and GT7 is so massive that it's impossible not to compare it to Drive Club and note that both, GT Sport and GT7, are inferior to the Drive Club, graphically.

    I recommend your last GT game to be GT6, only available for SONY PS3. If you have a SONY PS4/PS4 Pro/PS5, I strongly recommend, just play Drive Club & Drive Club VR. Stop wasting time with Gran Turismo Sport and Gran Turismo 7!

    Shutdown servers mean buying 1/4 of a game. Wish I could've seen what was here. No compelling reason to play. Very limited vehicle selection, no customization, small number of tracks. I only gave a 1 because it didn't pull a GT7 with microtransactions

    It's simply one of the most dissapointing Racing games i've ever played. Graphics are okay and i like the concept behind the game, but steering and drive control are simply horrible designed. That the servers are down and 90 percent of it's features are not longer avaiable is also a bad joke. Thanks god, this game never gets an sequel.

    This is the best looking car racing game I have played. Cars and weather is done beautifully here. If you are into driving simulators you probably won't like this one because Driveclub is more an arcade game. It is a shame that you cannot customise and buy cars. You can only change car paint. That's a shame but despite that this game is seriously fun to play.

    It's one of the best driving games I have played in a long time. It's very well balanced, it's not too "Arcady" bit just the right amount. I would compare the driving style with Forza. The reason why it only get an 8 on the ratings is because they charge extra for a lot of the cars in the game. Speaking of cars I think the game in general just need some more cars.

    Just after few races this game loses its breath. Boredom, monotony and demand for self-motivation to continue with playing cannot be saved by extraordinarily believable graphics.

    Not even speaking about the rage caused by update which makes the BR-disc-distributed copy absolutely different new game, because the weather system included within update helps gameplay very slightly.

    The graphics itself is amazing, though it hurts playability and design of some tracks due to visibility issues. As I'm aware of difficulties of driving a car in real life, being able to see nothing on the screen during dusk makes it hard to move in high velocities with help of what the game offers.

    The physics suited me, average mortal not playing with steering wheel, who demands some progress in single-player campaign, not repeating one track over and over to attain pure perfection. However some of the tasks like drifting and drags like borrowed from NFS franchise do not seem proper in this game. And they feel quite boring, because it requires me to repeat one track over and over to attain pure perfection working with physics that cannot decide whether it should be simulation or pure arcade.

    When you start to feel bored after 10-15 races, you start to realize that one does not need more than one car. After 30 races you start to realize that you should change the car just for making something less boring. I do not deem this well-tested game design.

    My last sentence hit the spot. This game is quite good in parts. Graphics, mechanics, content. But together, it feels like tremendous amount of gameplay testing would help the entire image.
    Unfortunately, the developers decided to solve this situation by flooding customers with DLCs, additional tracks, car stickers and even events. Like you only bought an engine with demo tracks (which do not use weather system at all) and fun needs to be purchased additionally.

    This could have been a good game. Every team in the studio did great job in fields they were responsible for. But after putting it all together, it feels like it only required some good decisions from the management.

    Driveclub is a PS4 launch game that tried to bring something new to the online racing genre but ended up being a huge disappointment.

    Driveclub was delayed for more than a year and its eventual launch was botched because servers didn't work and weather effects were missing. The developers brought servers back online, added the weather effects, and afterwards supported the game for a year with dozens of free and paid for DLCs. When everything calmed down though, what game did we finally have in our hands?

    Driveclub was meant to revolutionize the racing genre, by bringing people together in Clubs (think of clans or groups) who'd collectively race, progress and challenge other players and/or Clubs. A new social racing game for the online age. But the execution failed, because I never felt I had to be in a Club to progress. After winning 5 career tournaments (15-20 races total) I stopped playing because I wasn't having fun, unfortunately.

    The driving itself is a mix of simulation and arcade and is fine, but the races are played in walled environments. I know it's not an open world racer like Forza Horizon, but older Gran Turismo games had more freedom than that. When driving well you earn points for the Club, but if you crash with other cars or against the environment, or exit the main road, you lose points.

    The graphics are supposed to be Driveclub's main selling point, but they also hurt the game. I read reviewers raving about the "amazing graphics" but I wasn't in such an awe as other people for some reason. These graphics had the side-effect of forcing the developers to target 30 fps instead of 60. But what impressed me for sure were the weather effects like rain, fog and snow, as well as the day/night cycle. Yet again, these effects can completely obscure your vision (no matter what camera you are using) and make you crash the car.

    Driveclub is a game with many pros and cons, but I think it's a failed experiment.

    The gameplay has a Project Gotham like points system and it's addictive, the graphics are stunning, and the cars are rendered to a near obsessive degree. All of the 100+ cars and Motorcycles (yes Superbikes were added) feel incredibly lifelike and distinctly different.

    The weather fx are the best i have ever seen in a videogame and they alter the gameplay immensely. From thunder and lightning rain storms, to blizzard like conditions with zero visibility Driveclub has every type of weather you could ask for.

    The season pass is a steal with the ridiculous amount of content and the sheer number of freebies you get with the base game is astounding. The Driveclub BIKES expansion released yesterday (Tue. October 27, 2015) and it's truly AWESOME. The BIKES expansion includes a who's who of superbike manufacturers like Kawasaki, Ducati, Yamaha, BMW, Honda, Dark Horse ect.

    The graphics, gameplay,club aspect, and incredible amount of support have made Driveclub the premier racer on the market today. The BIKES expansion just adds that much more life (and fun!) to an already lively game. A 10/10.

The graphic of Driveclub (2014) still looks awesome and is best in class. Neither Gran Turismo Sport nor Forza 7 (both 2017) can beat Driveclub, both look like last generation games compared to Driveclub. Driveclub basically is the Destiny of racing games. The gameplay and progression system is great. The driving experience feels asolutely real, the cockpit perspective is so awesome - I cannot play Project Cars 2, and other racing games anymore, they are all generations behind. Sure the driving physics is in no way as realistic as GT Sports or even Assetto Corsa, but it's a nice middle ground between Arcade a la recent Need for Speed games and Assetto Corsa. Unfortunately Sony closed down the developer studio, though many devs moved over to Codemaster to work on an still unannouced game - so let's hope they brought over their awesome game engine and the great driving model.

Driveclub is a good experience either way if you love cars and the thrill of racing like I do. Driveclub isn't perfect though it has it's fair share of issues such as aggressive AI (sometimes) and confusing tracks, but the graphics and sound effects are perfect and well implemented. Driveclub is a good game for racing fans chances are if you enjoy games like the Crew this game will feel more complex but familial. If you are into action packed highway battles then turn away! This game is not for you! I guess I am the rare breed of gamer who can respect Need For Speed's action packed gameplay as well as Driveclubs realistic gameplay and races. The music in the main menu are exhilarating and get me in the mood to race. Driveclub also has a good leveling system while based on how you drive you earn fame that will go to you leveling up and unlocking more vehicles and challenges. Driveclub is a cup of tea that's not for everyone the hardcore racing fans might be turned of by lacking features and easier gameplay compared to the bigger titles out there. While as the arcade racing fans might be turned of by a lack of excitement and nitrous. Casual gamer may simply find the game to boring to play. I say it is a good game to pick up and play because it is as close to a racer you will get without having to buy a simulator and the complex and expensive equipment needed to play with said game. Driveclub can get difficult at times but the game can be learned by almost anyone if just a few games. That does not mean necessarily that Driveclub is a bad game but it is a unique experience.

    Driveclub is a game of mixed talents. Firstly, it is important to realise that this is not a simulator, rather an arcade racer with some excellent gameplay references to the decade old PGR series. The graphics are also awesome - with rain effects being the best that I have ever seen in a racing game.

    -En estos momentos te lo dan en 7.5 dolares si tienes PS plus cuando a mi me costo 40 dolares y obvio para el online de este juego requieres el plus
    -No tiene para multijugador local ni pantalla dividida.

    I would give this 8 just for the graphics and enjoyment in driving that i have never seen in a racing game before.Graphics are realistic,maps are great and that's it! The game is missing a lot of content.It has no variety,it has no split screen,it has no car modification and has a lack of single player fun.But you can see that developer worked hard on this and because of that,it's 8.

    I accept there is no story line and there is no car modification but hey we have to admit, it is only required when core (racing itself) is weak. This game ticks all the primaries and leave very few in secondaries.
    The multiplayer section is flooded with events and players where you don't have to wait or queue up, you spend more time in car rather than menu.
    Lets admit it, even after two years of its release no other racer has came to close in graphics and sound department (except NFS which is dumb in so many other areas).
    If any racing game is going to beat this GEM in future, it will be none other than "Drive Club 2".

Additionally, each of the many cars available are beautifully rendered both inside and out. To play, I personally feel this is leaning very heavily towards arcade, the narrow roads on some tracks/routes offer an incredible sense of speed but do also lead to multiple collisions with other cars but at least this is not just restricted to the players as AI controlled vehicles can be equally aggressive with each other as well, so it never feels unfair.
    All in all a great game for the less serious racer who just likes to have a blast down a road or round a track but likes to be dazzled by spectacular graphics and effects. At the price this can now be picked up for, it's a no brainer!

Однако, вскоре после опытных заездов в этой игре сменил гнев на милость. Это именно те гонки, которые с гордостью можно воткнуть на границе жанров между мыльными аркадами и сухими хардкорными симуляторами. Игра вернула меня к тому любимому времени, когда гонки были гонками, а не супер блокбастерами с головокружительным сюжетом, взрывами, прокачкой и.. и даже иногда автомобилями! Здесь всё на своих местах: есть автомобили, есть трассы (объединённые в стилизованное туры), есть основные авторежимы (спринт, гонка, дрифт), есть добротная визуальная составляющая с хорошим звуком. Ничего лишнего. Вот как должна была выглядеть NFS сегодня. Разве что тюнинг можно было добавить для любителей подобного, но так уж сложилось, что я не отношу себя к их числу. На закате игры можно определённо сказать, что игра удалась! Что касается сезонного абонемента и вышедших дополнений, то его бы стоило купить в первую очередь ради дополнительного автопарка. Дождливые и ночные заезды скорее раздражают, чем приносят удовольствие. Лично я бы с удовольствием отключил капли дождя с экрана, как это элементарно реализовано в Project Cars. Слепая езда ночью в проливной дождь на сверхмощных гиперавтомобилях по извилистым и узким трассам попахивает мазохизмом. Такие заезды хочется забыть поскорее и не вспоминать более никогда. Совсем другое дело гонки в светлое время суток: даже если где-то сложно одержать победу - хочется пробовать вновь и вновь, как например финальная дуэль в туре Mersedes на AMG GT3. Руль весьма кстати. В общем всем любителям автогонок рекомендую - пропускать нельзя! Expand

This game shows how a developer supports a game well, after a bad release, they improved the game a lot and now with some big add´s is near perfect. For a 30$ game now, you can´t be wrong!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We all know about the problems Driveclub had a launch I mean the game was slated by all the media but since its launch it a completely different racer. With the constant support from Evolution Studios it has evolved into what it was meant to be at launch a pure beast of an Simcade racer. Note that I said Simcade and not simulator or arcade because it's a fine balance of both. You can slide your car like in NFS or simply drive like a pro its your chose. First off Driveclub is visually the best racer you'll ever see, the rain drops on the windscreen to the heavy snow falling as you drive at over 200 mph in a La Ferrari is simple stunning. The dynamic weather makes racing exciting knowing that at any time a race can go from being sunny to a rain storm in minutes, it changes your perception of the track and how you drive your car. The night racing is fantastic and challenging, I found myself immersed in the challenge of keeping my car on the track.The car roster at the start of Driveclub was 50 cars but with the constant DLC support it has grown with manufacturers such as Lamborghini and Nissan being added as well as cars like the Viper and Corvette. Racing is fun, fast, and fluid, the quick challenges that are available while you race keep things fresh, challenges such as drifting around a corner to get the highest points or beating another opponents top speed through a specific sector make racing exciting. All the cars sound spectacular and look amazing inside and out from a Golf Gti to a Ferrari FXX I haven't seen a level of detail that has come close to Driveclubs. photo mode is also a fantastic feature with lots of options of how you would like to take your pictures with various tints and glares that make the cars and environments look photo realistic. Driveclub Bikes witch is a new expansion to the Driveclub universe is very good, it can be bought as an add-on or as a standalone download. There are a good selection of bikes from Honda to BMW to Kawasaki there is plenty to choose from, with more bikes and cars being added as free downloads each month. The bikes look stunning and the sense of speed you get when racing is unrivalled, it adds a whole new dimension to the game and makes the game even more fun. You can also customise the colours of your riders leathers so your rider looks unique.The career mode is challenging to, each event has a certain number of challenges you must complete in order to collect all of the stars and complete that event. There are more new events being added to Driveclub and at the moment there is plenty of racing to be done both on and offline. Online racing can be difficult with some racers preferring to ram others rather then race clean but thankfully you can set up a private room were you and your friends can race in peace, chose your own settings, what cars to race in, how many laps etc.Overall Driveclub is a fantastic game that's accessible to all yet challenging even to the best of racers and provides countless hours of replay-ability and fun. As of writing this review Driveclub is €12:99 for the full game and season pass combined. If you were on the fence about buying Driveclub I recommend you buy it without hesitation, it's a steal at that price for such a good game. Expand

Whether it be AAA titles such as Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare and Assassin's Creed Unity or even other driving games such as Ubisoft's The Crew, 2014 was a rocky year which saw many fan expectations go up in flames mainly due to the unrelenting power of the HYPE train. 2014 saw many underperformers and Driveclub is certainly amongst them.

    Driveclub looked to be this amazing next generation online driving game that would push the boundaries of a virtual driving experience. The graphics looked close to reality and the gameplay smooth and enjoyable. However this wasn't to be. The graphics whilst good underdelivered and the gameplay feels clunky and not quite complete. The driving mechanics are poor and personally I believe they can't even compete with Forza 4, a last generation title. It is so easy to lose control of the car that drifting becomes a massive challenge and a rare sight when done properly. Don't mistake this for being an enjoyable challenge. This is poor development and the fact that Driveclub was delayed so that the game could be polished makes it even more of an embarrassment that it is more fun to drive on a last generation xbox exclusive title than on the system seller racer that Driveclub was supposed to be.

    I could criticise Driveclub all day, believe me. However as with most things these days, there are things that it gets right. The progression system is particularly satisfying and gives reason to keep playing. I have a fond memory of unlocking a Maserati at level 5. The sense of achievement you get with every unlock is one of the big things Driveclub does well. The tracks are also very good. The simple variety you get from just reversing the circuit is often more than enough to ensure Driveclub doesn't become tedious, however it far from makes up for poor driving mechanics in a DRIVING game. The driving really is poor and shockingly unrealistic. It feels like your driving a box on wheels.

    In conclusion Driveclub is a mediocre driving game. The satisfying progression system along with good track variety and good graphics, all encourage replay value. However the good graphics are not as good as we expected and are undermined by the gameplay anyway. The gameplay is clunky and in no way does it feel like your driving an ACTUAL car, you can easily tell it's a game is what I'm saying. Mainly though all of Driveclub's negatives emphasise one thing clearly. Even as a hardcore do or die driving game fan, you don't have to or even need to buy it. There are much better driving games about. Funnily enough a lot are on last gen. Go and pick up any Forza game and you'll be happier. If you want to stay on next gen though, just buy Project Cars or wait for the new Need for Speed because in a driving game, driving mechanics are everything.

    They screwed up in one major detail. The game has really low fps. It hurts my brain, and it makes the game unplayable, because it makes me lose all sense of how fast the car is going. To sacrifice fps for flashy graphics is like the worst thing you can do as a dev, if you're not even going to leave the option to lower the graphics quality in.

    Driveclub missed the mark on the one, essential thing that it needed to do right: the cars. The cars feel too slick and at many points l felt as if the cars lacked any sort of weight.

The weather effects look beautiful on the PS4, but it's hard to admire it when you are getting frustrated at the AI drivers who seem too aggressive most of the time. Driveclub's graphics are amazing as well as the sound design, but ultimately, the whole package feels a bit disjointed as to what it wants to be. Does it want to be an arcade racer, or something more akin to a racing simulator? Expand

    Im not the biggest racing game nerd, I just play arcade racers like NFS, Burnout and PGR.

After the **** that was everywhere I admit I completely ignored the game, I downloaded the Plus Version (just played one race and quit) a while ago, and since the whole game with the season pass was on sale a few weeks ago I just downloaded it because from what I heard (and played in the short one race) I was extremely fired up. Now, after several hours in the game, I can fullheartedly say that DriveClub now, after all those patches and DLCs, has become what it should have been at his release - the ultimative PS4 racing game so far.
    The graphics are simply put stunning, the weather effects and cars just look breathtakingly aweseome, so is the soundtrack and sound effects. The overall presentation is extremely stylish and polished, menus look very good and are well organised, very short loading times too.
    Controls are smooth but need some practise, very good sense of speed overall.
    For me, DriveClub is the predecessor of my beloved Project Gotham Racing Series - it plays and rewards exactly the same (no Kudos here though, but something quite same ^^).
    The only real downside and complaint I have is the difficulty - DriveClub is very very hard, sometimes unforgiving, the AI is mostly flawless and AI drivers stick together like glued (hello NeedForSpeed) - this leads to some frustration, although I heard a rumor that an "easy difficulty" might be added in soon.
    The variety of cars is good, so are the tracks, although there is a real lack of "city"-tracks.
    Cant say a thing about the multiplayer though, I dont play games online anymore, so my rating is just for the single player!
    All in all, at such a low price, theres hardly any better choice for PS4 racing fans - and DriveClub looks and plays so stunning that it also appeals to people that are not so into racing games. It belongs to the PS4 library!

    Despite a shaky launch DriveClub is an incredible racing sim that is deserved to be played. Not much of a story just a huge amount of events to race in different classes of cars. The car roster might not be as large as forza or gran turismo But I find it better than both because quality over quantity. Every car from the automotive spectrum is here supercars, exotics, tuners, muscle catsDespite a shaky launch DriveClub is an incredible racing sim that is deserved to be played. Not much of a story just a huge amount of events to race in different classes of cars. The car roster might not be as large as forza or gran turismo But I find it better than both because quality over quantity. Every car from the automotive spectrum is here supercars, exotics, tuners, muscle cats open wheelers and compact hatchbacks. The environments and tracks on offer are great and each fit the region they are in. rolling hills of scotland, snowy mountains of the alps and the beauty of japan its all here. Graphics are amazing and they are easily my favorite on playstation. The online is sometimes a bit laggy but they make for some awesome moments. Overall DriveClub is a great racing game for the PS4 and I recommend it. Expand

    Gra wymiata pod każdym względem. Wymagająca, piękna, daje niesamowitą radochę z wyścigów. Oczywiście w pewnym momencie można powiedzieć, że robi się niesamowicie trudna, ale kiedy zmierzymy się z innymi graczami w trybie wyzwań - zdajemy sobie sprawę, że to my jesteśmy po prostu ciency i musimy więcej trenować.

    There is no Difficulty level and the races are punishing hard in the season pass so this reallt sucks when all you can do is lose even after racing hundreds of times on the same tucking lap

    I really enjoy playing Driveclub. First I tried free version for PS+ members and I likeed this game so much that I bought full version with all expansions. The game is gorgeous to look. It is more arcade game than true driving simulator and most importantly blast to play. Weather effects are awesome, there are tons of cars to choose from, tons of tracks to race on.

    Driveclub is a must-have for any PS4 racing fan. It’s ideal for anyone who enjoys a good arcade racer. It’s challenging, but teaches you how to overcome every single one. Because of this, Driveclub is far more rewarding than its peers. This coupled with fantastic graphical fidelity, impressive sound design, and adrenaline-inducing sense of speed makes Driveclub one of the best racing games available on current-gen systems.

    When you're on the track Driveclub is stunning to behold, but it's held back by a lack of event types. [Christmas 2014, p.74]

    The sense of speed offered by Driveclub reminded me of the brilliant first GRID and I was having a lot of fun until I realized that cars are indestructible. Whether you stroke a wooden fence or smash into another vehicle at 300 km/h your car drives exactly the same afterwards. [Dec 2014, p.66]
