Gran Turismo 7 Custom Race thread

I just find it hella annoying when you want to fight with them for position and at some point they just wave you by. For lapping cars or cars in a different class okay, but other than that it annoys me

True. However, I’ve had some races where it’s a dummy move by the AI. I’m going for the pass and the AI is like, ”Nope. I’ll keep this position a while longer.”

 

[BEBOP_Bill]

It’s because they most probably race so clean and don’t wreck themselves 😬
Me too have never seen any AI Penalties but that might be due to the Fact that all of my Races I do without HUD 😅

I have seen the A.I. get a passing under yellow penalty before lol

Or they outbrake themselves so much they immediatly go into the scenery

Thank you very much Good Sir.
I didn’t even knew it was possible this way.
That’s awesome.
So actually I activate the Replay from my Library and press the Share Button, right?!
Then I select capture or whatever it’s called and it uploads to my YouTube Channel?!
Am i Right.
I never did that so absolutely new to this stuff.
If that’s really possible it would be phenomenal.
I could finally show you Guys that everything I told you about my Experience is 100%True.
I assume that will be the final Nail in the Coffin for EVERYONE still claiming that the AI is Trash or slow or not competitive, or maybe think that I’m just trash and slow and therefore don’t want me to believe what I say.
Wow, awesome.
Tomorrow when I come home from Work I will start uploading Video by Video.
So far I have 42 Replays saved, each one about 30Minutes long at approximately 120MB Size.
The AI is even so smart especially on the Nordschleife Replay I did with GT4 Cars, when I start putting extreme Pressure on them and follow them very close it seems like they give up in defending and they turn on their Indicator Lights to signal me that they gonna let me pass what they then do. They slow down at certain Places with their Indicators active and I can cleanly overtake them.
As soon as I’ve passed them they get up to normal Pace and start racing me again.
I don’t know if that specific Behavior has already been noticed or mentioned by others around here but the first time i noticed it I was blown away by the amount of realistic Behavior of the AI.

Yep if you have a ps5 (im guessing the ps4 is probably similar), then yeah all your videos can be shared to youtube. Just make sure you have an account for youtube.

Activate Side Contact Penalties(

I'll assume you are talking about "Car Collision Penalty" in the settings as there is no separate option for Side Contact.

Edit: Just did a 10 lapper at Watkins Glen to check settings, and it wans't half bad. Finished 2nd about 1.5 seconds behind the leader. This was starting last with a rolling start set at minimum distance. All of the cars were tuned to ~600pp and then I put RH tires on them while I stayed on SS. (PD seriously needs to fix the tire issue) Overall it was a good race, but the AI is still bad at slamming on the brakes in the middle of the corner. I'm a close racer (I tend to race people quite hard and be very close while doing so) so this instantly results in my hitting them and losing the clean race bonus. I'm going to make a couple changes to the AI cars and try again.

Yes, I was talking about Car Collision Penalties.
Have you tried using the exact same Settings I posted here yesterday?!
I always set the Rolling Start Distance to the furthest possible option I think it’s 50meters and I always start last.
I have no idea what kind of Driver you are, but I NEVER make Contact with other Cars and in 99.99% of the Case it goes well.
I would like to see and watch your approach so give me a Friend Request if you like to.
I can then watch how you do it if you share a Replay either in GT7 itself or over YouTube.
I‘m absolutely clueless how you Guys manage to finish so far ahead of the others, assuming you go for a Contact Free Race and obey the Driving Line at any Cost.
Maybe I’m just playing it completely different to you Guys but I honestly can’t finish that far up.
In that 600pp Race you mentioned, what was YOUR Cars PP?!
Have you equipped your Opponents Cars with the upgraded Sport Brakes and Pads?!
Have you been able to out accelerate them on the Straights?!
Did you make Contact?!
So far I have not done or raced the AI in a Lap Based Custom Race.
Only Endurance and always 30Minutes long.
I don’t know if that might make a difference but you Guys definitely leave me baffled.
Tomorrow I will upload one of my mentioned Replays and you can watch for yourself how the Race develops.
If you like to see and compare my approach and Race Experience.
But I honestly can’t comprehend in Case you take the same approach as me how you’re able to finish that high.
My Lap Times are mostly 0.5 ~ 1.5 slower than the AI so it’s physically not possible to finish it that far up ahead, let alone 1st.
So strange 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm a former GT Academy finalist, so that should tell you enough. And I'm not going to trot around at 50% throttle just to avoid the AI's bad behaviors. This last race I did was better, but the "slamming on the brakes in the middle of the corner when I am right behind them" mess is probably not fixable. And let's not even go in to how slow they are at Bathurst no matter what, so I unfortunately avoid that track while doing custom races.

My car is set at 600 PP on sport soft tires. AI cars are at ~625 PP with RH tires. I am going to give the sport brakes thing a try here shortly, but I will not be downgrading my own brakes.

 

[ixlr8nz]

I think race length really affects how the ai perform. If the race is short, then the ai usually go ultra fast on lap 1 then get slower on 2 and real slow on lap 3. If you do the same race but say 20 laps long, you get a more even speed from the ai. That theory needs more testing, but seems to have happened a few times.

Unfortunetly you cant see the ai lap times unless you watch their hud in the replay (which i havent done yet) so hard to prove.

On the flip side, some cars race quite well, for example if you have 10 super formula cars, them race well together with yourself.

Im just an average driver approx 7800th/60000approx? in the lap time challenge currently at Fuji speedway, so can clearly see how you can win by a mile, even with a slower car. Ai 95% throttle really doesnt help.

My observation is that they tend to run their fastest laps about mid-race.

Yeah, it's a shame about Bathurst. AI will never get fixed there. However, Boost Weak, they don't brake as hard at Sullman. Still the worst track for AI.

I'll start any position, other than P1, at any track. I've only won two races(I was an A/S racer in Sport Mode) from starting top 5, without backing off.
Standing starts are my main starting option. So, that does allow the AI to get the jump with TCS.

As you pointed out, about following closely, I anticipate when AI are slowing at known parts of the track. It's mainly to avoid contact and having the AI slow down. I'll also not block(unless it's a close battle to the finish). I need the AI to keep up speed.

Car set up could probably be a factor as well. I don't set up cars optimally. I use the suspension/diff settings similar to Gr.4 cars.

Downforce F/R: depends if the parts allow default Gr.4 settings of 180/260 or close to those numbers; If I have a front splitter fitted, it'll remain at the stock setting, usually, at 10
Anti-Roll bar(depending on car) F/R: 5/5; for cars that have bad oversteer, I set to 10/10. AI seem to handle this setting better
Ride height(low enough to not impede tight turning)
Frequency F/R: 3.0/3.0
Camber F/R: -3/-3; for the TCM cars, I use -5/-3
Diff: Two-Way diff for all cars I've built
Toe: -10/+30
Gearing: Final drive varies model to model.

Not sure if car settings have anything to do with AI programming calculating "familiar" settings. If that's even a thing.

The power delivery seems like a factor as well. My Boss 429s have about 700+BHP and heaviest(1430-1450kg), but are at the lowest PP of the pony/Muscle car class(around PP 660). Yet, they are the fastest in a straight line. Pretty much all my Mustangs are fast in a straight line. The Shelby has the lowest BHP and it's fast. The MACH 1s are the highest PP with the most BHP. I can start them from P1 to P20. It's track dependent if they break away from the pack. However, they'll run together if they all get t the front.

I feel it's about the cars. I run short and long races. Posted some videos(short laps, long circuit, etc) in the video thread. AI are fast at all the combos. Race length doesn't seem to be a factor as much as when in the race you pass AI. I have noticed with flags on, there's more of a chance the AI fall behind, as they don't rejoin right away, as humans do.
That leads me back to trying not to make contact. However, AI spin and it does slow the others up and i find I'm running by myself in the middle of the grid with the leaders way ahead.

It's still a testing session for me as well. Running at every track in the game with my TCM cars to see how AI behave.

 

[Foresticek]

PD really should make some QOL improvements in Custom races. I tried yesterday Daily B and C combos for this week in Sport mode and it was good fun. But there is no way to change my car without exiting the race, going to the garage and than do all the settings again? We can do that in Time trial, so why not in Custom races?

Also let us save the settings, let us make championships and improve the rewards. I think there is potential for endless fun in this mode, but we need it to be much better than it is now

I’ve been watching the Porsche super cup on the F1 tv channel and thought I would do that on gt7. Would the best Porsche be the 911 GT3 RS 16? I think it is. I don’t think they drive the rsr’s but I just started watching it. Also Zeptrans and Krisdruv’s liveries are fantastic.

Go for each era of 911. 👍

930T for IROC series
964 for first Carrera Cup
993 CS RS, 996, 997 for more classic Super Cup action. They’re all fun to use.

 

[CodeRedR51]

Alright, got all the cars on sport brakes and clutch. Tried another race but this time at Red Bull Ring with a 100ft interval, rolling start, with a 20 minute length. (It's late and I didn't want to do a long one) Was a tough battle but made my way up to a fight for the podium after starting 16th, and then I got taken out at the sharp right on the last lap. 🤣 The leader finished 14 seconds ahead but I just added that car to the group so I will tone it down a bit.

 

[05XR8]

Finally got back to my TCR build. Finished buying and tuning the remaining cars. Go for a test run and can’t get red bars for the race set up. I’m using the lowest PP car and starting from the back.
My first test at Monza, 5 laps, grid start from last. I finished P3.

Checked all my race functions from AI to Boost, etc. Doing nothing different to all my other races. Even did a mock Group 5 race with the 930 turbos, CSL ‘73s and a few others. 15 lap race at Laguna Seca and I finished P9 from P15. Almost getting lapped by the P1 930T(the Pole BB512 kept going off and causing yellows). It’d pass me and the other CSLs and keep going off at the Corkscrew - not adding that car at that track again.

This race below. Just wanted to try again. 2 laps at Deep Forest. AI should be fast around there.


Again with the yellow bars. It used to happen when I’d either place the faster cars behind me, start toward the front of the grid, or I’m using a faster car, than other cars on the grid. However, I‘ve only been having two red bars for all the races I’ve done and videos posted. I have red bars in One Make MINI Challenge races. No matter the starting position. This is a weird one. Not cool.

 

[PirovacBoy]

@05XR8 i just watched the short Clip you posted, and I was very surprised to see you passing and out accelerating the opposition so fast and effortless.
You mentioned your Car has the lowest pp of all Cars on Track, Right?!
By how much?!
You said you use the exact same Settings you usually do, but I noticed you didn’t set the Penalties on.
In regards to the Red/Yellow Bars.
In my Custom Races I never get more than 2red bars.
This is with all the Settings I posted here AND my Own Car in comparison to the opponents is on average 30-50pp lower than ALL my opponents.
I really have to Slipstream them and then try to outbrake/late Brake and the overtaking is not guaranteed either.
Because my opponents are ALWAYS faster on Acceleration with my Settings and similar/equally late on the Brakes as me.
So yeah, quite surprised to watch your Clip.
Looks way to easy.
I just have some time right now and will try to Capture a Replay now and share it on YouTube.
I will insert the Link here as soon as possible.

Edit: Ok, I just captured and currently uploading one of my Prime Examples what it looks and feels to me racing the AI at its finest.
How long does it take until it’s finished and available on my YT Page?!
First time doing it, so no experience with it so far.

Anyway, I’ll share the link as soon as it’s done and available.

I ask ALL of you non Believers and Doubters to carefully watch the WHOLE Race.
Because this is what racing the AI with my Settings provides.
A truly immersive and authentically realistic Racing Experience.
Not a single Contact or Incident throughout the whole Race.
Fair and competitive Racing.
Better than 99.99% of any Online Experience you might have.

Unfortunately, the Video Quality is capped at 360p.
Eye Cancer and unbearable to watch especially on a bigger TV Screen.
The more interesting question though is….WHY???

These are the range of my cars and the race set up:

TCR

The collision Penalties is not a factor when changing for my races. It stays the same yellow bars with this group of cars. No matter the start position.

MINI Challenge. Same race set up. Car range 608.44-607.68. One red bar no matter where I start. As always, fast AI.

Touring Car Masters
Same race settings as the TCR cars. I selected the highest PP car of 681.55. The lowest car is PP 648.
This gives me one red bar. The AI are much faster in all my races with these cars.

DTM. Same race settings as TCR. I selected the lowest PP car(M3 ‘89) at 623. The highest car(P3 M3 Evo) is 655. Two red bars as per all my races with these cars. Can’t beat the AI. Even starting P1.

964 Carrera Cup. All cars are different(like the MINIs), with each Porsche exactly PP 611.34. One red bar.

Not sure why, with the TCR cars, I’m only getting yellow bars. The video I posted, I’m using the slowest FK2. I also selected the highest PP Focus. It shouldn’t matter(obviously, it is consistent with yellow bars only, for these cars).
The cars being FF and close in PP, shouldn’t matter either, as the MINIs show. I still got red bars for those.
Like I mentioned, it’s a weird one.

Edit: set up another race. The only way I get One red bar, is by using three identical cars to my own(PP 632), in the first three positions. It drops to yellow, if I remove one FK8 and if I don’t place the FK2 cars(the five cars range PP 627.63-626.49) in the last five positions(16-20). The highest PP car is 636, in P4). That‘s crazy.

Edit2: Got two red bars when using the Focus. Set P1 AI with the same car.

Failed because, I actually won.


Edit3: Okay. Two red bars again. This time, with the Golf. I selected the second red Golf(PP 634.60) and left the grid as is, in the picture above. It’s a different PP to the two lead cars so, I have no idea how the bars are programmed. I had to have three identical FK8s for one race, Two identical Focus’ for the other race and now, no identical cars for this current race. All with Two red bars.

Gave it a small overhaul, everything should work now and you can track manual BoP settings across a "season".

That’s indeed a bit weird, no idea why but what I did notice is, that sometimes I also couldn’t get Red Bar AI difficultly no matter what Settings I used.
On the other Side though it wasn’t any easier despite the Fact it logically should have been.
At the End of the Day what counts is that you or me or whoever, has the Freedom to choose and set up the AI to the exact Level we want them to behave.

My Video which I uploaded proves it 100% that with the correct Settings you/we ALL can have a phenomenal Offline Single Player Experience.
The Video proves all my Points.
Anyone who is still claiming the opposite is just simply lying to himself, not willing to accept the Truth Period.
The AI drives phenomenally good, clean and respectful.
And this is ONLY 1 Video.
I can prove my Point 41 more Times across GT3/4 Cars or other Car Classes across almost all sorts of Tracks.
There’s no more refusing or neglecting the Facts.
Because Facts have been proven.
The Fact that no one is commenting on the Clip here says a lot.

Oh, for sure. I didn’t have doubts when you initially mentioned Boost Weak. I never used it. Once I did, it changed my races. as per below.

This is the AI I’m used to. I did crash(just didn’t pay attention), but on the last lap, the way the Camaro takes off, that’s how all my races with the AI are. With the exception of those few TCR set ups, any car combo yields competitive AI with Boost Weak. Big and small trucks, 2 laps or 40 minutes.

 

[GTvsForza]

I'm in the process of recreating the Endurance races from GTS, but with random weather and time to spice them up. I currently finished the Gr 3 events and out of all of them, Dragon Trial Gardens had the most extreme weather with a spot of Orange. Nurburgring is fun with the 24x time and random weather, hope they actually add it with the same payout as Spa.

Right now, the 911 events have the better rewards since they are One Makes. Once I finish the rest, I'll get the Gr 1 races and try to save up for the X2019.

@05XR8 If it wouldn’t have been for the Crash on your 2nd Lap you definitely could and most probably would have finished way higher.
Nevertheless I think your Car was a bit too fast on the Straight Line imo.
It was especially noticeable on your opening Lap where you were easily passing and flying by 4 or 5 of your Opponents.
I think if you’d lower your Cars pp a bit further so that you can barely hang on in their Slipstream, I guarantee you it‘d be even more enjoyable and entertaining.
Did you equip your Opponents with upgraded Brakes/Pads?
That for me was a big improvement especially in the Braking Zones.
They are able to Brake way later then usually and the higher Hp/Torque Curve gave them excellent Acceleration.
I highly suggest you to watch my Video so you get a perfect understanding what I mean.
Not to mention the Level of awareness and Fair Play.
Unfortunately most of the Time you were driving on your own in your Clip so it’s impossible to judge the AI Behavior but on the 1st Lap it looked ok.
Like I said, from my Experience Side Contact Penalties activated made a difference in regard of Respecting the Driving Line and ALWAYS trying to avoid Contact at any Cost.

Edit: At the end of the Day what do I care if anyone believes me/us or not.
And yes I know that you immediately noticed and agreed that Boost Weak is the way to go.
But that’s just 1 Mosaic Part.
Combine them with my aforementioned Settings and you’ll get the best possible Single Player Experience possible in GT7 😁

My first YouTube Gran Turismo 7 Upload Video.
Sit back and enjoy an amazing Racing Experience 😁



Just noticed that the Video Quality is miserably low, despite having captured and uploaded in 1080p.
File Size is 5.1GB.
Why is the Quality so bad 😕
Anyone have an idea???

I only watched the first five minutes but I must be missing something, all I see is typical slow GT rubberband AI. They're boosted coming out of corners and pull away in a straight line, but they're poor in the corners. What's new? There are several occasions where you get a far better exit but they still pull away, or a point where they brake on an apex yet somehow you still can't catch them. Either boost is crazy, or you're running a massively underpowered car. You also don't seem to be driving that hard.

So yeah, when does the amazing racing experience start?

I think if there was a setting for extremely hard difficulty or even a % you could adjust up to 150%, then that would solve the problem mostly. But also 100% throttle for AI would make a big difference. The way the AI slides is cool however. Just weird how sometimes they almost "stop" in front of you in a corner.

That car is the Boss 429 at PP 648. The least performant car. For some reason it’s the fastest in a straight line. Even with the AI using it. I mentioned in another post, the Mustangs seem to be the fastest due to their Final drive at 3:91. I don’t adjust it when using the Fully custom transmission. I only adjust the speed.
The two cars I adjusted the Final drive, are the Challengers. They would get eaten up at the start. with their 3.25 gears.

Heres Dragon Trail. I circuit with fast & slow corners, hard braking, curbs, the COD.
First race are slowest to fastest. With me starting P1 in the lowest PP car. Next race is reversed grid, Fastest to slowest. No feathering the throttle. Only to try and avoid collision and trying to control the car.



Race set up. Start to finish. Reversed grid from the previous set up. I’m using the same Boss 429.
