"Forza Motorsport vs Reality" video

For those who don't feel like downloading: Basically, professional race car drivers are playing Forza and are clocking lap times within tenths of a second of their actual track lap times in RL. That's quite mind blowing, and although I *love* GT4 I can't wait to give this a run.

I can't wait for this game since I don't have a ps2, the gt4 commercials have been making me a little envious.

Ever play Grand Prix Legends? The physics in that were unbelievable.

I was in a GPL league and killed several T1 Wheels and even went out and bought a big buck cast iron wheel from a distributor I can't remember.

My fav game of the 90s...

I just can't get into racing games that don't have oil slicks, missles and machine guns

Yeah, it really really is, Labatts if you are into racing sim games. It's comparable to a Papyrus one.

Definitely. I've been pleased with the racing AI and damage model in addition to the car physics. It's much easier to get into than GT, as you don't have to spend time with the license trials.

One thing I forgot to add:

If you are using the controller-s to drive, try using the right analog stick to shift instead of the buttons. It is MUCH more intuitive and comfortable.
