Why I'm Not Excited for Gran Turismo 7

All I know is playing GT5 and doing the Leman 24 Hr race in two 12 Hr shifts driving at night with the rain was awesome , and my one complaint was high beam was useless.

Haha yep, I did that on the Nordschleife and it was so dark! It seemed like some cars didn't have any headlights at all. It would be very cool if you could do a 24hr race with saves in the pit, like in GT5, but with more cars on the track.

After the first 12 hours I pitted and left the game game on pause for 7 hours while I slept, got up the next morning grabbed a coffee for breakfast and prayed that nothing glitched overnight , the gods were kind and it was fine  apart from high beam light shining 10 metres in the air into the treetops rather than the road and the overall weakness of headlights that you pointed out with your Nordschleife experience.

 I lied I have another complaint its tyre wear I noticed that for some reason the competing AI cars tyres lasted a lot longer in campaign mode, even with me on hard tyres, in one way it gave a challenge by having to do around I'm guessing here 20 /25% percent more stops with all the extra associated in out time lost adding up, still  the tyre wear algorithm should have been better, maybe they needed that advantage because I noticed watch bits on replay there seemed to be a bit of a desync between tyres and refueling meaning the AI would occasionally pit a few laps after a tyre change for a fuel top up.
