...What happened to the Michelin tires?

And even the Jimny Sierra's not wearing those, despite it did in the past (including today).

They're no longer a sponsor of the GTWS I believe, and I think folks were speculating that the licence may have expired. If that's the case then it looks like we're back to the old tyre textures. Hopefully if this is the case, they'll make a substitute in an update or for GT8 which looks more like a real tyre manufacturer.

From memory, the lack of Michelin tyres was highlighted for images from a previous update as well but the tyres are still in game today so it’s maybe just the same here, but I guess we’ll find out tomorrow

I just spent two years on a career and released it days before Sophy got added to custom race...

I'm hyped, but god I could not have finished it at a worse time lmao. That said it can just be a change to the quick start guide or something mentioning that Sophy can be used.

I hope they changed the throttle issue though. If it's not changed now, along with the tyre bug, it never will be I don't think,

To be fair, I thought about you and your custom career as soon as I read the news.

Ha, thanks. After reflection it's an exciting time because it will bring more folks into custom race, the update, and if they want there's a big old career waiting for them. The changes I may need to make even on the maximum scale aren't very big, just a bit time consuming. I hope the AI throttle thing is changed and the tyres are fixed (if they weren't just cosmetically bugged previously).

Oh hey, a Free Ticket (I have all three cars in this menu). Praying its not a parts ticket.

What’s exactly the difference between the normal AI, Sophy and Sophy 2.1?
Click to expand...

The normal AI is set in stone and has many flaws, Sophy is trained on machine learning and is being updated, tweaked to provide much more realistic competition. 2.1 further improves on that to add additional functionality, to model tyre wear, fuel usage etc.

I can't wait for Sophy 2.1 to deliver us racing of comparable quality to that of racing Vs humans and the usual crowd declaring

It is the devs' job but this is a really good step forward hopefully for custom races. The entire main campaign, and the post-launch races should've been starting grid/close rolling starts. Let's hope for GT8 they do that - in the meantime this is great for offline longevity with more enjoyable battles and faster opponents.

That said, we're in this situation where the main campaign isn't much fun - it's easy to jump into a custom race with any car and now against Sophy. Unless you prefer the structure of a campaign, no reason not to give it a go at least. You'll probably realise you enjoy custom races a lot more because there is actual racing.

Maybe the best part of the new update!!!!
But where are Custom Championships?

Really?

They've made a HUGE addition 3 YEARS into the game's life, and you respond with that?

Some people don't deserve to get this update 🙄


As for me, this is AMAZING!!! If this lives up to the promise, I am going to build a TON of custom race set ups.

I totally agree. Custom races are probably the best competitive feature in the game, but I believe the public has been hoodwinked into thinking otherwise because of some unfortunate buggy aspects. I think the custom career you've built really shows a lot of the potential, and this updated Sophy hopefully will leave it rounded off nicely. Fingers crossed.

The "chase the rabbit" has been around since the very first GT, albeit there was a time you could qualify for the single player races ( think GT2) but that was eliminated in the next version.
Click to expand...
It can't be called "chase the rabbit" if we start maximum 5 seconds behind. Some or many events in GT7 are mostly/almost ruined because we start 20-40 seconds behind!!! In GT3-4-5-6 it was mostly 5 seconds perhaps 10 in some/many GT6 events.

Edit: This wouldn't be a problem if we could select starting position which takes a few minutes to code. Then it could even be fun in playing in normal or hard mode or against AI Sophy.

Michelin is officially gone now then.

6. Brand Central
　- Updated the list of Official Partners. Accordingly, the tyres installed on cars are now original Gran Turismo tyres (excluding certain cars.)

Don't be a fanboy only (if you want a better GT). New Championships or the abilty of custom championships isn't sample of ingratitude....I am happy for all those updates but there are more to done to become a very good GT game.. with my opinion...

It's a small thing, but highly appreciated:

2. Users Cars
　- Added a new sorting criteria 'By Number of Cars Owned' to the Car Valuation Service;

Nothing exciting in the patch notes otherwise (besides what was already revealed yesterday)

Who here happens to still be selling Honda NSX Gr.B's obtained through perfectly legitimate means? :D
