Gran Turismo 7 AI post Update 1.15

[Fuz_Belvedere]

Prior to Update 1.15, GT Sophy AI seemed competent. Not the most competitive, but no signs of silly AI rubberbanding like in other racers. The AI may wander into your line when you have a run on them, but easy enough to adjust. Sometimes they may bump you a bit, but nothing a bit of good car control couldn't handle... But now, every custom race is a wreckfest....
Prior, the AI might mess up a corner when you put some pressure on them or out brake'em, but now professional AI level are worse than bumper car rookies

Sophy isn't implemented in the game yet. You're just seeing normal AI.

Damn when I saw this thread I thought they like patched it in or something and I got my hopes up.

The AI in the game isn't Sophy, its the same old AI that held the older games back.

Great... now the Normal AI crashes a ton more than before

Ah yes, the championship level AI that can be beaten by any average dweller.

Anyone having more AI wrecks since the Update 1.15?

I'd need to play a lot more to find out.

Besides, AI was already terrible prior to the update. Losing control for no reason, completing 30 minutes of a race at an average speed of 80km/h...you know, the usual.

First of: nice custom grid 😁.

Second: I can't tell about unexpected crashes, but the AI has the same inability as before when talking about position sense when running in close quarters. If you are overtaking them before a corner and with 3/4 of your car in front, there is a great chance that the AI will make the turn-in as if you weren't there, making a PIT maneuver in the rear lateral panel. The Daytona crash looks like this (although, in this case the car without sense was the one slightly in front, coming back to the racing line like there is no other car there, but the results are similar).
