Nicely detailed article comparing the real and virtual cars at Laguna
Seca:
"Reality vs. Virtual Reality
I'm approaching the blind crest of Laguna Seca's front straight in the
550-horsepower Ford GT. The speedo has swung past 100 mph, but the car
continues to accelerate through its meaty torque band like a
low-altitude cruise missile. Yet despite the blind hill I already know
exactly what resides on the other side, because I've just completed
four laps at this same circuit on Sony's PlayStation2 driving
simulator, Gran Turismo 4."

Tried the same 4-lap challenge on Laguna Seca with the same cars and
my times were about the same as AJ's. Which is pretty good for him
given I've got a lot more experience :-)
