Not liking Driveclub as much as i'd thought i would either. I don't want to do 15 different races in a vw beetle before being able to drive an R8.
Forza is better in that aspect, if you have no time for story mode, go straight to arcade mode choose a car and track and go for it.
However be prepared to pay extra for DLC cars that you will probably want then regret buying after

my only complaint with forza.
Interested in the crew, kinda gay how they want you to "customize" a supercar into a dirt jumper off road car but the big ass map should be fun.
