With the 190E in the LCD, I’d recommend grappling it while you can(of course it’ll resurface, but could Be a while). I’ve got 22 in my garage and wishlisted it just in case.

Looks sick in PSVR2.

The Charger's body kit is great.
It has a front spoiler, a rear spoiler, and a rear diffuser, eliminating the downforce issues that plagued classic muscle cars.
And a wide body with a modern design like NFS and SEMA build. Perfect.

However, this car has one drawback.
The problem is that even sport tires leave a redline, and there's no option to remove it like with Trans Am's Goodyear tires.
 
Sophy, especially with the pleasant surprise of full 20-car fields, is a revelation and a huge moment for the Gran Turismo series.

Things I've noticed so far:
  • Two faster cars will overtake a slower car three-wide
  • Battles among AI cars
  • One formula car went for a gap that closed and spun and took me out, and I was delighted at the error
  • If you park your car on track (the old AI test) they will actively try to go around you, sometimes they will reverse and take a very wide line around
  • If you're at all in doubt about the capabilities, I urge you to take a Super Formula 23 around Suzuka and watch the AI in the formula cars prudently and aggressively overtake the slower class cars in the replay. Fascinating
I am extremely impressed. This Sophy needs to be injected into the entirety of the singleplayer game and be an option for MP.

Imagine an actually interesting and competitive Le Mans with AI and multiclass racing. We are almost there.

I can now do something I don't think I can remember doing as an adult. I can boot up Gran Turismo, go for a quick 3 lap race against AI, and have a challenging and interesting race. Who would have ****ing thought.

Can you set the group of cars the AI choose?

No, Quick Race only, no selection of opponents, it's not a Custom Race or whatever those are called.

Despite how....slow Polyphony are with most things I am still really impressed with Sophy and 20 car fields.

I know you can’t choose the cars the AI drives but if I select gr3 I want them to drive the same group. And if I choose a grX car I want them to drive the same car, not show up in a formula car against my fiat500.
 
Did you SEE the prizes in Custom Races!? I got 245k in 10 laps on Road Atlanta versus my speed limited trick cars loaned (Living legends that have 23 mph Max Speed with a transmission trick while I drive my autobianchi) to A.I.'s!!!

I've just installed this now and watched the opening movie, was rather amusing to see The Beetles and Elvis in an opening movie for a racing game 😂

Also a nice little nod to Middo Naito Kurabu.

They will drive same group for most groups, but there is no restriction on the special classes i.e. if you pick a Super Formula you will also get bizarre Vision GTs and the 1980s Formula car.
 
The snow dust is a bit naff but the fact it collects on the wheel arches and you get big hits of snow flick off your car is really cool. Not had it snow on the time trials I’ve used yet…

No snow in custom races. Or rain for that matter.
