Gran Turismo 7 Custom Race thread

Man, I wish PD would hurry up and get Fuji on the Sophy list. Just tried to do a regular AI custom race there and went from last to 2nd in 9 laps, then on the last lap the lead car over cooked T3 and slowed so much I wasn't expecting it and I hit them and took us both out. Lost count of how many cars I clipped because they braked too early or for no reason.

Used the same exact settings at Red Bull Ring but with Sophy, and was fighting in the mid teens all race. When you are used to doing races with Sophy, the regular AI is SOOOO BAD.

Just messing with you.

oh, all good

Just, fyi, the Supra seems to suffer in that group. Not sure why. It seems to suffer in general at equal PP so it needs a boost.

Ya, and the don't stop like the player car does. They go to full stop in almost no distance, which I assume is in place to avoid massive AI pile-ups. I find that Reggie is worse with slower cars. Like, I tried to enjoy a Suzuki Carry race or Honda One with Reggie and it's pointless.

Cheat and use them with Sophy and it is better, but it's still pretty obvious that Sophy doesn't race. None of them try to pass each other.

I don't understand why the cars that very obviously work with Sophy (The Suzuki Carry, Honda One, F3500B, etc., etc. ,etc.) haven't been given official support. It might get more people moving over before GT8 comes.

Indeed. My Carry races are 5 laps and I have to account for not always passing on the outside to keep it somewhat fun.

Reggie loves the higher the horsepower the better the performance programming. Standing starts help because all aids are on. I just use ABS and full power. Even when I use the highest PP car Reggie is still competitive… at certain circuits. Forget Daytona Road Course.

Next survey everyone need to type SOPHY at all courses.

i treat custom races like daily challenges 6 days a week like use a certain type of car on a certain track within the pp limit

Sometimes, I like to recreate the Daily races in Custom mode. They're pretty fun.

like last Saturdays challenge was a gr.3 bop race at Autopolis for 10 laps using 700 pp tire and fuel rate, Sunday was use a F1500 a or b at grand valley for 9 laps up to 950 pp using gr.1 tire and fuel rate, yesterday was use a European RR car up to 650 pp for 10 laps at fuji, tomorrow would be use a Japanese 4WD up to 550 pp for 10 laps at Tokyo central using clubman cup plus tire and fuel rate.
