I don’t think GT has ever really been a great game for simulating full championships and careers. You can definitely do it with custom races and Microsoft Excel now, just without qualifying lol. But in older GT games even in their championships you only have five other competitors, so it kinda felt pointless back then too imo.
Sure. But I still managed to make it fun in my head
.
For me the ideal GT is the struggle in the beginning, starting with that barely functioning second hand car. Participating in events and slowly upgrading it for the first hours. I do the commenting in my head: "Here's Qronicle with his PT cruiser, he should have no chance in this cup, but he has proven us wrong many times before". Until you finally have enough to buy a Viper GTS
And that car is also a struggle, but you slowly get to the bigger leagues. When you got to the GT championship with your hard earned machine, it felt like something. Some tracks you would struggle, but you'd know, third place is enough to still take it. Once you have conquered the final events, I believe you should get sponsorship deals etc to make money a lot faster, so you can buy all those cars you had to skip earlier in the campaign.
Anyway, I'm an older man now than in the GT1-3 days. And those same championships will probably feel more like checking the boxes now, as the AI probably won't challenge me anymore. But I had hoped that we could get a bit of that feeling back with Sophy, where your shortcomings at certain tracks will surely be more exposed, and imaginary rivalries can be formed.
Edit: I will still buy the DLC though, PD surely earned my money, and hopefully what's there will blow me away
