Apologies if I'm missing something but can Sophy 2.1 use our own cars though? I'd rather have them use my cars tbh.
We’ll have to wait and see. From the trailer, looks like parts are being purchased for the Audi TT. Thing is, does that mean we select the car while we are choosing the Custom Race grid and then get a short cut to GT Auto to purchase the aero and cosmetic parts? It’s not clear.
 
Hoping the Vantage slots inbetween the V8 Vantage and DB11 credits. From Hagerty pricing, should be about 191,000Cr. Will be easy and cheap to build a GT4 car.
 
I’m not doubting that, we are beholden to them and what they want. But it’s ok to be constructively disappointed with no sports mode improvements and questionably weird/brand placement over actual user value cars

This afternoon while taking my dog for a walk I counted at least seven CX-30 on the road or parked in a distance similar to 3 blocks, we got these cars because is what people is driving outside and is to try to bring more people into the game (if it is working only PD and SIE knows, but I imagine it actually works at some extent)

Is this the Scapes crew getting pics on Faroe Islands?

The announcement in the GT website has confirmed it.

Perhaps Sophy needs to practice driving the car first before it becomes ready to use? With more data samples, more machine learning can be done to improve Sophy to handle all matters of vehicle characteristics.

Seems clear to me that Sophy is using cars from your garage. I can't see any reason why you'd want to have a separate system for tuning, customising and saving the cars that Sophy is using.
 
Wait, so I'm gonna be able to run Sophy at Road Atlanta for more than three laps? Let's goooo :D Sophy is a brilliant AI system and massive fun to race against
In my case I'm hyped to do a full stint of an NLS at Nurburgring - around 80 minutes - with random dynamic weather and starting in pole position...

I'll only do a full NLS if we ever have B-Spec. As well as races longer than 4 hours.

We’ll find out in a few, but the sequence itself so weird how they pick the car customised car from the Favourites, but later show building the car. So weird to say Tune GT SOPHY cars if it’s already the player’s car from their garage. Just say assign your favourite cars to GT SOPHY.

Yeah it's not really explained how it works. But since tuning and customising cars can be highly time consuming I don't think they would design a separate system for it. Just customising a grid of 20 cars could take a day, and if your work isn't saved to your garage then it's all for nothing. I suppose they could have a separate garage for Sophy cars, but why? The cars should be the same anyway, the only difference is the agent driving them.

Oh, I wasn’t thinking a separate garage. I was thinking just a shortcut to GT Auto while selecting cars for the grid. Again, they should have edited with buying and building the car. Then, saving it to favourites and then, assign to SOPHY. PDWeird. :sly:

Yay, that's a nice QoL change that I've wanted for a while now.

It was very annoying trying to find the exact car you had a duplicate of in the list of 500+.
 
And were live!

Can confirm: Sophy lets you select vehicles from garage to race against, exactly the same functionality as the existing custom races.

Custom endurance Sophy races! What a concept! All the way to 200 laps. I wonder how it works with strategies and pit stops and the like.

And not much concerned with drafting either. Like, that's racing 101...
We know it was able to do better in its prime days.
So this makes it a case for "giving players a chance" (without stopping it to 95% throttle) or something stupid like that.
 
210,000 Cr. and 26 colors for the Vantage. Good luck to all you collectors!

29,000Cr. for the CX-30

18,000Cr.(New) and 15 colors for the Kangoo

How about rain? Is it Sophy capable?
