How’s the game if you’re a lone wolf renegade with only a cursory understand of road traffic safety?

There seems to be plenty of single player content and driving is really easy in the beginning. My biggest concern is that it’s supposed to be filled with events where you drive supercars. I generally prefer driving more humble cars. The online integration is really neat too. All my friends, and their clubs, are easily accessible and you can compare your performances.
New Track Preview: Nakasendo, Japan
Watch this full preview of Nakasendo, one of the new Japanese tracks coming in a free game update later this month.
It’s an epic point-to-point drive offering plenty of wide open sections for high speed overtaking and loooong switchbacks where you can get your drift on.
The car we’re driving is new too. It’s the awesome Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Centennial Edition, included in the Season Pass and also available as part of an upcoming Expansion Pack.

I’ve reached the professional events and I’m now trying to control cars like Pagani Huayra. It’s not easy, although I’m slowly getting better.
Nope. It controls well with the gamepad since it’s more forgiving than Gran Turismo.
I don’t play enough racing games to justify buying another racing wheel and sadly my Logitech G25 isn’t compatible with the PS4.
