At the risk of introducing the anti-console "it's not a sim" debate,
the following console game/sims have it:

PGR2 (XBOX)
Forza (XBOX)
Gran Turismo 4 (PS2)
Enthusia (PS2)

I play Forza and GT4 extensively.  I think GT4's version is
of considerably higher fidelity.

And, IMHO, GT4 is worth the price of a PS2 alone.

Project Gotham Racing 3 (PGR3) for the Xbox 360 also has it, and it's
a hoot to drive. Looks quite good in HD as well.

GT4 was the poorest of the series by far. Very depressing as I was a huge
fan of the other 3.
Boost buttons ???? LOL
PGR 2 absolutely creamed all over GT4.

Everyone has their opinion.  I too was disappointed by GT4 in that
it was only pretty much GT3 with more cars and tracks.  In absolute
terms, it is the best in the series.  But they didn't raise the bar
much.

I admit I never finished GT4 whereas I did GT3, so that might be
taken to mean I didn't like it as much.  I did finish PGR2 (loved
it) and Forza as well.  But PGR2 is a too different animal than
GT/Forza for a direct comparison.  Suffice to say I bought all and
consider them well worth it.  And for the sim-inclined, PGR2 would
likely lag the pack.

Race Sim Central forums is a good place for all sorts of race sim info:

support):

Physics wise poor
It has the best in game representation of the Nordschleife I've seen though

Problem is with all the PC ones is they tend to be imports of the GPL '67
version (which was inaccurate in a few spots eg hatzenbach 2) with new
graphics
Then on top of the inaccuracies, the track was changed at the start of the
70's, made wider/faster removing some of the jumps such as the straight and
brunnchen, and of course there is no longer the start und ziel on the
nordschleife these days

The version that was released for SCGT had many of these issues sorted.
Does anyone know if someones building an accurate version for any of the
current PC sims?
