How realistic is Grand Turismo 5 ?

Lets do a lap of the Nurburgring

That's pretty impressive.

My gf has bought me GT5 for xmas - I want to open it now!!

I like the fact you can go round the Top Gear circuit in a VW Splitty!

impressive, but why do the cars always sound like a dalek singing opera?

good graphics, shame about the pillar being too far over to be realistic

I was going to say the steering looks a little to easy in the game than it appeared in real life.

reminds me of that twat a couple of years ago that had done the ring a few hundred times on his playstation then took his old mans beemer round it to see how good he really was - wrote it off within 2 miles of the start

these games are realistic in most areas but one - you can't 'feel' the track under your wheels

But you can play in your pants though!

I know what you mean though, PS3 does not substitute real driving skill..

Not forgetting that in the game version the view is from the drivers perspective and in the real car the video camera is between the front seats

Sit in any of your cars and see if the pillar is in the same place; If its supposed to be from the drivers perspective then they have him sat in the back seat IMO.
