SOPHY being a good companion for solo racing.

Round 2 of the Sophy GT4 series is going live in 10 minutes as I type this. (7pm MST US)

Edit: Stream link below. Race was going well until I had a couple incidents after the pit stops with a certain Lamborghini and it cost me a lot of time. Ended up finishing P8. Caught the lead pack of cars just as we got to the chicane for the last time. Unfortunately we lost a lap due to me switching the pace car to a GT3 car and it ended up being too fast and lapped us. If I had that last lap, I may have been able to get 1 or 2 more spots. Oh well.



Here is one of the incidents in question... 😄

On the edge of my seat with these cars. That last near miss I nearly closed my eyes.

Question: we know that if we add a faster car to a Sophy grid, it removes/smooths out the catch up and slow down issues. But is Sophy pace correlated to our pace?

I ran a test on this weeks Daily Race C, and Sophy's best lap was a 1:441.4xx. I wasn't pushing and just hanged back in last place (I swear I wasn't pushing 🤣). If I improve my pace, will Sophy improve as well?

As a reference, A+ drivers are comfortably doing 1:37.xxx in this race.

Here's a recap I did for a custom race of my touring car championship. It's inspired by modern BTCC and also features some "What if"-entries. As you'll see, I had to make that Golf as wide as possible at some points, cause Sophy AI gave me quite a good challenge

Some facts about the custom race setup:

• Sophy AI
• 18 laps with fuel set to 2x and tires to 12x, boost set to weak
• I only used road cars that I fully modified to race cars with racing hard tires
• to take away some traction of the 4WD-cars, they are equipped with diff settings to make them a bit more "FR"-like. Redbull Ring definitely is the track, where they are still hard to beat, as you'll see in turn 3

Honestly, this was one of the most fun races I've ever done in GT7 and for me it shows, why this game is so great, seeing all this cars and liveries come to life. Thanks at this point to all the decal and livery-makers!. Hope you enjoy

Did you do a wide body for your cars? I’m messing around with creating my own “TCR” races with hatchback cars that aren’t 4wd

All cars are widebody except the Impreza, Lancer und Atenza. For the Atenza there's no widebody available unfortunately. But it would need one 😅
