AI tyre wear is always at a different rate than us in all events custom or otherwise

From my experience I don’t think they do, but they have traction control on and smooth inputs (regular AI particularly, haven’t really seen Sophy’s inputs), so their stints last longer.
 
Man, I've been battling settings for this V8 series for over a week now and was disappointed with everything I did. Tried the strong slipstream and didn't see a difference with them not passing. Tried a few other things and just wasn't satisfied. Fiddled with the BOP a bit more and finally had a good race. Suzuka is very good with Sophy, that's for sure.

Either way I switched to making the rabbit car also a Gr.4 car but added some power to it would pull away from the pack. Would rather have that than something that would lap us before the mid point of the race. Started P17 and finished P6. Would have had P5, maybe P4 but I braked too late into the last chicane and had to detour the astroturf so I dropped a couple spots.

I am satisfied with what I have here and will probably start doing my live stream races next Sunday.

Nothing special. I just did a quick Sophy one lapper on the Ring with Gr.B cars. BoPed so I had no power compared to the modern rally cars. So I was at the back with two other WRX's,a Celica, and a couple of Peugeots. Still fun though!

Chaos happened in front of me at the same turn and with two types of cars but 4 "different" drivers. I guess the Sophy Hyundai and Peugeot drivers wanted to tandem drift. lol

Just finished qualifying for Sunday's race at Suzuka. I decided to do 2 laps with each car since switching between different cars would require some "warmup" for me. Usually I can acclimate after a lap or so. Field is very close, but the cars drive pretty different from one to the other, so we'll see how it goes. You'll probably recognize some of these names. 😊

After every race, success ballast will be added 30kg for 1st, 20kg for 2nd, 10kg for 3rd.

And here is the current BOP:

Doing replicas of some championships its my new addiction in the GT7.

Today I've tried with the 1993 Japan Touring Chapmionship. Some M3 e30, Civic, Sierra and plenty of GT-R R32. All them with similar PR

I did it in sophy and later in Normal IA cause I wanted to rain (having R05 at the middle of the race) but it didn't. The metereolgy of this game is a mistery some times.

I am LIVE with the first V8 GR4 series Sophy AI race.



Edit: Thanks to those who joined in to watch. Was a pretty good race overall, finished P2. Didn't have the pace at the end to catch the leader and definitely didn't have the fuel. Was interesting to see a handful of the AI cars make a second pit stop with a couple laps to go. Part of me wants to figure out how to prevent that, but then again it's one of those "short fueled on their stop to make up time and couldn't make it to the end" real life scenarios, so we'll go with it.

Here's the results and the points as they stand after Round 1:

Great racing! Was there watching. Hopefully Sophy will just get better. Specially like that situation you had with the conga line behind the Vette trying to overtake the Jag(?)/MB(?) for all those laps. I think the Vette had a few chances but the AI coding just doesn't want it to. And yeah those weird pits they make too. Otherwise, it was fun to watch.
Just let us know if you'll stream the next round.

Really good stuff! Hopefully the Integrale Custom Career will get enough traction eventually that YouTube is replete with examples of people posting their races.
 
Hey guys Im new to this discussion and this is probably discussed before but the CPU cars selected from my garage are racing with default tires when I have either upgraded or downgraded the tires. Is there a way to set the CPU cars with different tires?

Also how do I make the CPU cars slower? I noticed they are faster when I added tuning parts to my cars but when I reduced power with power restrictor they are just as fast as without it

This is a bug that needs to be fixed but hasn't been, unfortunately. AI cars can only be on RH tire or whatever they came with as default.
