Tested out a few and my lord, I knew the AI on Professional Difficulty was atrocious but didnt know the rubber banding is this bad.
Did 2 20 Minute Races, one at Trial Mountain and Northen Isle Speedway and they were a sight to behold.
First Trial Mountain, I was naturally going 1 Second slower than the top running A.I (Dodge and a Ford) as they were consistently doing 1:56s which I only reach once. That's fine as its definitely a skill thing on my part that I need to improve on and is quite fun but I was dumbfounded at what came after.
Halfway in I and the Dodge Viper in front pitted while the leader Ford stayed out for much longer, when we rejoined suddenly I was gaining on the Ford 5 seconds a lap and was able to pass the Viper and get a 10 second on it until the Ford pitted and we both passed it taking me to 1st. Then suddenly the Viper started gaining, which would be expected as the AI were naturally faster than me but now the Viper was pulling 1:53s out of nowhere before it was right up my 🤬 at the finish line
Didnt even feel like I won that due speed or strategy and just exploited a huge hole in how Professional difficulty A.I are designed for Custom Race
Then Northen Isle Speedway, the small track lets you see the rubber band first hand when the A.I suddenly decides to speed off like bullets and slams right through you in the process after you lapped them

Seriously, with my random weather setting, I’m more likely to get rain at Fuji and Tsukuba than any other tracks. Nurb 24, Autopolis, and Spa would next. Suzuka and Dragon Trail Gardens are about equal with the amount of time I get rain on random. Surprisingly I recently got rain at the Nurb Endurance layout. Thought wet weather was unavailable for that layout.
Le Mans is hit or miss for me and I rarely get rain at High Speed Ring.

94-95' DTM around the ring.
And at Maggiore.

I’ve started using ChatGPT with Wolfram in combination with the Custom Races to keep track of championships and provide commentary on the results of my races. This has completely revolutionized GT7 for me, so if you have time to fine-tune things a bit to do things this way, it might be worth it for you too. I used to keep a spreadsheet for custom race championships but now ChatGPT can calculate the standings just based on giving it a scoring system and sending it screenshots of the race results. Also, if you do this, use the Wolfram version of ChatGPT or the points will not add up right after a few races.

One of my favorite cars in the game. Great job.
Thank you. Wanted to do that for a good while. Working on the 1973 Daytona 24H grid again. Now that the Porsche RS is back.

A longer race to celebrate Petit Le Mans tomorrow :
Results :
Always difficult to avoid collisions with the AI here (heavy damages on), a lot of crashes! Some GT cars were lacking competitiveness, probably because I made this BoP for Le Mans only.
My best lap was a 1'15 something, but that damn rubberbanded AI could have qualify just behind the Proton Porsche this evening...
Leader sequence :

Finally had enough money to buy enough GT500 cars and getting ready to build a custom Super GT500 Championship. Working on the liveries now.
I could copy the official teams but I decided to make this custom Super GT distinct with a handful of old livery ideas and return teams but joining a bunch of new original ones. Grid is 18 Cars split between 6 each of the 3 brands.
Currently have 11ish of the 18 Teams ready to go...
#16 Loctite Mugen NSX (Tyres meant to be Firestone)
#5 Fox Racing NSX
#64 EPSON Nakajima NSX
#61 Australian Dragon Racing NSX
#22 Xanavi Hiroto GT-R
#14 Bully Dog GT-R
#9 Dingo HKS GT-R
#36 Castrol TOM'S RC F
#37 Petronas TOM'S RC F
#11 Mad Croc RC F
#3 BLITZ RC F

Finished my 18 car roster for my custom Super GT Championship
#80 OPERA Performance NSX
#33 Valvoline NSX
#12 Marelli Impul GT-R
#17 Shell V-Power GT-R
#2 TOMACA GT-R
#41 Marc VDS RC F
#8 Sharkbite Falken RC F
Now just playing around with the race settings to see what works best. I'll be piloting the #5 Fox Racing NSX. Thinking of adding weight ballast over the course of the season but unsure how relevant thatll impact the A.I.
Does anyone know how to randomise grids, I dont think there is an option but I dont want the same starting grid every time...
Edit: @Com Fox Unfortunately we have to place the AI garage cars ourselves. Would be nice to have such an option when set to Random.
Probably closest finish I’ve had with the AI.
Entering the Variante Ascari, I had just passed P5. Exiting the Variante Ascari, P3 had a shaky exit and I was able to just out accelerate it by the time we all got to the Parabolica.
More Group A stuffs.
Messing with a Daytona Speedway grid and I have to use Counter steering. The AI just pit me any moment they can. That's nothing new, but I thought I could do without any aids like usual and feel like I'm driving the car.

Cloudy start to the Championship but they sky cleared halfway through
Don't know what strategy the Valvoline NSX did but it overtook everyone from the pits alone, on the first set of stops it came out in front of all the non front runners mentioned before
Championship Points after Round 1:
1 - #5 Fox Racing NSX - 20 Pts
2 - #22 Xanavi Hiroto GT-R - 15 Pts
3 - #33 Valvolone GRM NSX - 12 Pts
4 - #64 Epson Nakajima NSX - 10 Pts
5 - #16 Loctite Mugen NSX - 8 Pts
6 - #3 BLITZ RC F - 6 Pts
7 - #12 Marelli Impul GT-R - 4 Pts
8 - #37 Petronas TOM'S RC F - 3 Pts
9 - #36 Castrol TOM'S RC F - 2 Pts
10 - #80 Opera Performance NSX - 1 Pt
Honda - 3 Pts
Nissan - 1 Pt
Lexus - 0 Pts
Next round will be Tsukuba. I will be doing a weight ballast system and grid is determined by championship standings (except I always start last)

Yes. Stock settings on the CS compound. Just 16" American Racing Outlaw wheels with wide offset only.
The cars handle really well. I drove it before, when it was first added, but since all these physics updates, it's a refreshing car to drive.
As for Daytona, I think I was topping 280-290 kph with the stock transmission. Pretty stable.

I can do this all day.
I did a race with pit stops and while it was fun, the AI spread out too much on pit exit and they’re too slow accelerating up to speed. Even with the AI having better fuel economy than me(61% to my 59%) I waa able to accelerate much quicker passing many cars through the banking.
Trying The Glen, Laguna Seca and St Croix. Hopefully the programming gives the similar battles as the ovals.
