They've set it up like it's a track day instead of a race, which I suppose makes some sense. I've seen people move track day groups to boos their ego, and that's essentially what the game's events do.
Anyone who has ever gone to a track day can confirm that the GT events are absolutely the same. You "win" if you pass all the cars within the session time, which is how someone would "win" the track day
. That's why many track day organizers remind participants that they can't "win" the track day so avoid wrecking yourself or others.It is set up 100% like a motorcycle track day, where mirrors are taped over or removed, and the onus is on the faster rider to avoid contact, and no passing IN the corner. It sure seems like that's how the single player is set up. You have to be the one to avoid contact all the time.
And this does come to the question of how this will be implemented, because (as has been stated to death) if they continue with their current SP philosophy, you'll have a track day with a "Sophy AI" label instead of an entertaining race.
Have you seen this?
That's what I base my comments on about it not replacing the current AI. They've never said they plan to do that.
Both cars seem plausible.Plausible, but I rather doubt whichever local ad agency Sony Brasil hired to make that consulted with PD to choose cars they were planning to add soon. Rather they just hired whatever three supercars were available to them.
Real world ads for games rarely have any relation to the game.

I'm guessing this is just a fictional track for promotion in the video, don't remember seeing it in game.
Edit: Definitely not real, nevermind then.

It's a live action shot of Autódromo Velocitta, here in Brazil. In some ways that's similar to GT6's Ascari Race Resort. I'm pretty sure it's not coming to the game.

It's real footage shot with a drone that they've "gamified" a bit in post, and added the UI of course.

Track is Velo Citta, I think. - https://www.circuit-booking.com/en/circuits/sam/brazil/autodromo-velo-citta

They put the Sardegna C layout.

Here's a First Look at GT Sport's New Sardegna Road Circuit
June 2019 looks like it could be a bit of a bumper month for new GT Sport content. We've got new cars in the pipeline, new weather conditions set to shake things up, and now we've got a brand new circuit on the way. In yet another sneak preview from the World Tour floor, an anonymous but sharp-ey

if your only goal was to have all the cars, you were surely in the wrong game. But let's not compare Grid to GT7 please.

I agree. There's no way PD is going to implement Sophy and completely replace the AI in GT7. I can see it being a separate entity of the game like VR was for Sport or the ridiculous Music Rally. I don't think Sophy will work with the current single player situation of having 3 laps to go from last to first. Not to mention a change this big to the game is going to come with all sorts of bugs and glitches on its own.Have you seen this?

It's pretty obvious the people writing these articles don't actually care much about motorsport seeing as they describe Sophy as driving "fairly" when to put it bluntly, it drives like a complete prick cutting corners and track extending while driving wheel-to-wheel into every single corner against opponents, at worst putting them off the track, or even at it's best just being way too aggressive and not understanding that you shouldn't try to force an overtake into literally every corner for the sake of good sportsmanship and respectFor those that missed it, the MIT article about Sophy is available online now:

I really hope GT Sophy is a success, for Fuchs' sake.

They really should have used some of those resources on the current AI in the game. I'm all for research and innovation but it looks bad when your existing product sucks and you don't do anything about it then do all of this Sophie stuff in a related but not helpful way.

Sophy is still becoming better and better, we know that the speeds it can achieve are unbeatable but its the sportsmanship and competitiveness with other drivers that will be interesting to watch. The competition races against Sophy that we've seen don't show the complete Sophy product, hence why it goes to extreme track limits and sometimes pushes other drivers off.
But agreed with doing something about the current race event state on single player, even if they add better AI into the game now, with the catch the rabbit style racing, they'd have to rework every race event in the process! (Hopefully to standing starts. With optional qualifying) Then again that part of the game isn't to do with anyone working on Sophy. I'm looking forward to the next videos!

Anyone who has any hope for sophy improving GT7 is an abject utter fool.
Mark my words. Revisit in five years. I’ll be right.

I just want to know if Sophy will become self aware and punt meta users off the first corner on Monza.
