Hoping to start a discussion on the GT Sport 'Custom Race' mode. Its filled with a very extensive option set for creating a wide range of scenarios and races. And highlights the strong work on the AI that goes largely unnoticed in the very limited 'career'. Provides a good opportunity for racing while we wait for more content in Sport mode.
The prizes also scale according to the difficulty, race length and starting position you set. Potentially some big rewards here
I just came off a race @ Suzuka with Gr.3's. 8 laps, field of 20, AI on Pro, tyre wear set to 10x (R Hards), fuel consumption set to 5x. This meant a pit stop was mandatory for fuel, and the tyres also showed a very noticeable amount of wear by mid-race. It was exciting to notice some AI pitting on different laps. I chose to lean the engine somewhat and go for the undercut, and gained several track positions doing so. The AI that won the race also stayed out a lap longer and gained 4 positions, looking on the post-race display.
I can see how fun it would be to create endurance races through this using the time function. The AI put in a solid performance with some good racing for positions. I could see when they was starting to struggle on old tyres and that tempts you to push a bit harder. Also had one spin out in-front of me through the casino section which was entertaining.
It took me 15 hours of playtime to even notice this feature was there Not seen it discussed in any detail yet...
