Yup. I have that issue too. I have to start another game, and then go back to GT7.

Well, except for some reason during the French hot hatch ones it felt like the opponents finally started driving a bit more defensively.

I picked Hard cause I always pick Normal. It's pretty unforgiving unless the car is right

The American muscle car menus are really difficult lol. I stupidly bought a bunch of performance parts like an ft86club newb without first buying racing slicks, and then it didn't matter how fast my car could go because it could never stop spinning its tires everywhere. So I had to run some dummy races to make 38k credits to afford new tires.

You all are making me extremely jealous about not having a PS anymore.

Took my R34 to the spicy races in the Expressway and Tsukuba. Right under the 550PP rating, and I can't place better than 3rd! The American Muscle car menu sucks. I can't hang with my Camaro.

I did the EXACT same thing! I was like WTH and then I was like oh you big dummy you're still on comfort tires. I built a supercharged Stingray that wasn't even driveable until the extreme tires were on it.

I noticed too that hard mode is only 2 peppers out of three... 🫑 It kind of makes me wonder if there is going to be an 'impossible' A.I. mode released later.

That'd be interesting, although I don't think I've heard of them introducing new difficulty levels. I'm learning to enjoy the race rather than look to get 1st place each time. Otherwise it becomes this humdrum going through the motions and cruising to the finish line in first place with the runner up like 30 seconds back.

Yeah the licenses I need the gold for the extra car but if in a race I just need third to win a car and move on for my Café book then 3rd place... Good enough! Next item. I can always come back later and try to get gold in every event or whatever when I finish the book. There are 39 I think from my Google fu.

There's some news articles about a new racing AI they made for this game. Last I heard it seemed they didn't include it yet. Could be there.

I'm thinking 3 peppers is Sophy mode. The AI will actively block you on top of everything else we have been experiencing. They will also pixel peep the track limits.

Sounds about right with what I read in a few articles as well. Not sure what pixel peeping means though.

I think the idea is that they have the same "perspective" as a player, but they can "see everything" whereas we have peripheral vision as we drive. So they might be tuned to be more precise because they can see exactly where the apexes are and stuff.
