Although SIE’s new-generation signature racing game Sports Car Romance 7 is still controversial, when it launched the game, Sony mentioned that it would import the game AI developed by Sony AI for this game. The AI developed by Sony AI challenged the in-game lap record of Lewis Hamilton/Lewis Hamilton, the head driver of Mercedes F1 team and long-term partner of the Romance of Sports Cars, and finally succeeded in using the same vehicle at the North Nurburgring. 17 seconds past Hamilton.
▲ AI is about 17 seconds faster than Hamilton, which is an amazing lead on the premise of the same vehicle
This time, the Sauber Mercedes C9 ’89, the most glorious era of Group C prototype racing cars, was used as the vehicle to challenge the lap record, while Hamilton’s lap record was 5 minutes 40 seconds 622, Sony AI further improved the record to 5 minutes 22 975 seconds, given the complexity of the North Nürburgring and the insane performance of the Sauber Mercedes C9 ’89, a 17-second gap is quite an astonishing lead, given the current official lap record for a non-production car at the North Nurburgring It was set by the Porsche 919 Hybrid EVO in 2018 with a time of 5:19.55, and the second record was set by the Porsche 956 in Group C in 1983 with a time of 6:11.13.
