Clarkson and the Playstation

Jezza did Laguna Seca in a Honda NSX on gran Tourismo and set a 1 min 41 sec lap.
He then did the real thing in the real thing and scared himself silly getting down to 1 min 57 sec.
His track coach pointed out a few differences between the game and reality, like no NSX could pull 160 k's in a certain part of the track, nor could it brake like the virtual car.
And you don't shit yourself entering the corkscrew while sitting on your couch.

very true. Also, if I hit the corkscrew at 250kph in the Viper, it'd do more than just bounce a foot and roll down the hill

Gran Tourismo is ghey.

Forza rules!

You couldn't get near the times a 12 yr old kid can do on Playstation WRC - but he couldn't drive a car out the gate......I can all give the impression I'm 22,muscular and good looking,can afford 7 new bikes and ride like a MotoGP rider.....in real life one of those is a lie.

Motu, you are not 22.

GT is ok if u like cars, but RS2 for me, GT, but with motorcycles

I like my black and orange GSXR1000 and my 84 GPZ900

-Indy

I liked the bit (Same episode, maybe, can't remember proper) where the boy racer's 3L V6 Peugeot 306 was took more time than an Austin Sprite on the hillclimb track. That was great.

this will kick the butt of RS2.
Same lead guy who did GT4 etc, but he actually likes bikes more than cars
