Gran Turismo 7 Custom Race thread

[CodeRedR51]

Custom races haven’t been touched in any way as far as I can see…

Except for one minor thing: Slipstream Off

Which I just tried. Did a 15 lapper at Suzuka with my GT4 series and put a few cars up front that are known to hold up the field. And they did exactly that. It took me ~8 laps to get from 12th to 1st, and then I spend the last part of the race slowly pulling away from 2nd. (Rabbit car was in use) Finished several seconds ahead.

Then I set the race to 10 laps and removed slipstream.

To my surprise, the Mustang and Genesis Coupe that were holding up the field in the first race, slowly pulled away and the top 5 or 6 cars spread out a little so there was space between them. In this race I started 10th and barely managed to catch the Mustang at the end to finish side by side at the line. There might be something here with the no slipstream, but there wasn't a whole lot of passing going on so it might take some BOP experimenting to correct that.

Here's to hope that they didn't want to detract from the PP and we will get Sophy 3.0 and more settings in custom races in the next few months.

I’ll have a look at Slip Stream, cheers for pointing that out.

I must admit, I haven’t tested every option, just the obvious wish list changes, news cars, tracks etc.

Custom racers are always bottom of the list of things to do….but we are on the list! Haha…I think..

I think you could be spot on there, if 3.0, grid starts and new cars/tracks had been added to CR, I wouldn’t have touched the PP! Haha
