He has a new video of his real life NA vs GT5s NA:
This is him quoted:
"Here's the next comparison. My NA6 vs. the GT5 version. Same test: I built the car, then straight 15-20 laps for my best time. This one's even closer than my MSM test... The lap times match down to the hundredth of a second!
Of course, there are some things to be said about the footage:
1. Just like my other comparison test with my turbo Miata (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31bH2t2X*95g), I'm faster and slower in the game than in real life. Particularly, turns 5 and 6. Yet again, like the other test, I'm faster in real life in turn 5, but slower in turn 6. That simply comes down to bravery for turn 6; I'm braver in the game because I fear the left-side walls in real-life, so I take it easy though there. Turn 5 is faster in real life because I can feel the brakes and grip easier in real life than the game.
2. Just like my real life car, the virtual one steers similarly to the game.
3. In the game, I don't have a clutch or an H-pattern shifter. Instead, I had only a sequential shifter with no clutch pedal. I need to do this test again in the future with a Logitech G25 or G27 steering wheel and pedal set.
4. The red strips on the apexes at Laguna Seca are not recreated in the game correctly. In the game, you can run over them with little to no consequence. In real life, if you hit them, you are going upset the car greatly through the corner, not to mention also bending a wheel in the process.
5. For the real-life lap, I upshifted to 4th gear then downshifted to 3rd before the entry of turn 10. In the game, I keep it in 3rd. I think the discrepancy is simply a misjudgment of gear selection in real life. I should have ran it to the rev limiter in 3rd."
