I always find it odd when people get so angry in situations like that, it's not like getting mad with Ben was going to un-crash the cars. Figure out what happened, make a plan to make sure it doesn't happen again, and move on. Guess it makes sense why that guy is still in amateur classes.

Yeah, it was a deal between Nissan and Gran Turismo. The best of the best players went in germany I believe, compete between themselves and then the best 10 or something went on a track in a 350/370z and raced for real as the last step of the competition. The winner got a deal with Nissan's racing division and became an actual race car driver. The deal between Nissan and Gran Turismo lastest a good couple of years

I got the chance to drive a McLaren 570S on a real racetrack a few years ago, and in preparation for that, I loaded up the 570S in Assetto Corsa and on a mod of the actual track (lesser known track). Im not sure the simulator would make me quicker overall once you got up to speed IRL, but it without a shadow of a doubt helped me get the most out of the 4 laps I got to do. Knowing the track, knowing more or less when to brake, when to upshift, where to place the car, is such a massive advantage going in blind to a situation like that. Theres no way I would take as much risk IRL in 4 laps as I could do in the sim, but I didnt waste any time putting my foot down, because I knew what to expect.

This was awsome, I love these videos because everyone can relate here. I knew this already, to be its been clear for decades that even just playing a driving game at all on a computer or console helps. You learn everything! From lines to just basic behavior and weight transfer to suspension and braking... Colin McRae, BTCC, Early F1 games and Grand Tourismo games, all of them had enough detail to teach you a lot if you payed attention and I played all of those, even if you play on a controller it helps. I do a ton of flightsims these days, fly a ton of helicopters, probably got 1000 hours or more in them over the passed 2,5 years. And I'm pretty confident I could fly a helicopter alright very quickly, ofc, procedures and stuff I would be bad at, I have not learnt much of that but I think I could fly one pretty well. First time I drove a car I had very few problems, I just put it in gear and drove it... no real issue. And this was in the late 90's and early 2000's, and I could drive a manual from day one. Never understood why people have such problems with it tbh. I did gokarts years ago one day, had not been in one in a decade by then and now its been another decade or so... and I was fastest on track... probably helped that I weighed as much as a pair of socks... I was so skinny I almost flew out of my seat in the corners. All because I knew how to find the lines and where to push long before I got in that gokart. This was just rental karts ofc, nothing serious, but still cool to get the fastest time on track.

The first time i jumped into a real race car from the sim, i was quite surprised how much easier everything was thanks to the feel of the g-force. At home i don't have motion seat, so everything has to be felt only through the wheel. Predicting and catching slides was thousands of times easier. Having the feel for the grip of the tires with your entire body, instead of only your hands is absolute game changer. Small wonder that just after 4 laps i beat my all-time PB from the sim where i felt like i couldn't improve anymore. It's a really amazing stuff how advanced sims have become when racing in real life feels actually easier.

@QuantumS1ngularity

@@extremeencounter7458 I guess it depends on which components - ARBs, springs, shocks and chassis are pretty easy to simulate with almost perfect accuracy to real life, so their real life vs simulation difference shouldn't be big if present at all. It's the tires are extremely hard to replicate in the virtual world. That's where i'll put my money the biggest difference is. At some point there will be a developer, who would come up with a game engine that perfectly simulates rotational mass, forces and deformation, but we are probably a decade away from that.
