Played a bit more of the Power Pack last night, though I'm still in the earlier stages of the pack.
Surprisingly, I have been able to win a couple of races. I didn't expect that with my skill level, but I'm not complaining when it happens. I have won some prizes including the Skyline KPGC10 Race Car and of course the Supra GT500 Road Car I've shown earlier. I love that the prize cars become buyable again after winning them once. It's good for me as I like to typically keep one car stock and modify a 2nd car. Due to me not being a top tier driver and not being active enough with GT7, I can't say how much of an improvement Sophy 3.0 is over 2.0. But I can say that I enjoyed racing against them in a focused career mode setting instead of just a sandbox. I like a lot of the themes being used for these races too and I look forward to seeing the rest of the events as I progress.
Still bummed that I can't select my own cars though, but I guess that would've clashed with the vibe of having factory provided cars that they're doing here. Of course they could've fixed that problem by making so you can re-enter events with your garage cars, but they didn't seem to want to do that. Honestly for content related to single-player, this is some of the best to be added to GT7 so far. If it's intended to be a test bed for GT8's career, I'm a bit excited for GT8 now even though we won't see a trailer for a while.
With that said, there are some other issues I have outside of not being able to use my garage cars. For one, I find it annoying that there's the same text boxes that come up each time I enter an event talking about how practice mode and qualify work. I read it the first time, I don't need to see that again. Another thing that's annoying is having the grid being showcased in every race start without providing a skip option. These things add additional tedium that didn't need to be there in my opinion.
