So Gran Tourismo 4 doesn't accurately portray the difficulty of getting a
road going sportscar around Laguna Seca. I could have told you that and I
haven't even played the game.

If I back it down a bit to allow for the fact cars are less breakable in
games than in real life, I can get a Cortina around Zolder in GTL in about
2m05s. If someone is willing to lend me one, I'm pretty sure I could match
those times in the actual car (iirc. the really quick RL boys were doing
1m57s in the historic meeting 2 years ago).

If, like Jeremy, you allow the game to flatter you as a driver, reality is
going to bite hard.

Now give him GPL, a steering wheel, a true driving position, Laguna Seca,
and we'll talk again ;)

Oh wait you're actually thinking it's more challenging with digital on/off
abs anti-wheelspin traction-control that he had in that GT4 video compared
to GPL I guess, that it's more true to real-life!  And more accurate!
Good'ole Bruce strikes again.
