Hi everyone! I did a trackday yesterday and found that GT5 - especially the longer races - helps heaps with consistency! Getting in the habit of 'joining the dots' (braking point, turn in point, apex, acceleration point) becomes really natural with practice in the game and after a few 'real' laps at a track you find you are doing the same thing. Choosing a similar car is a good idea too! Anyone else find the game helps them at a real track?
 
I've known people to use it for getting use to the basic layout of the Ring.

I did this with GT4 as I didn't want to turn guessing where the track went at $XX Euro per lap!!
 
I guess this proves it really can deserve to be called the real driving simulator :)

I think its about 8 to 12 euros a lap. God help you if you crash and cause the track to be red flagged, I've been told you can hit 5 figures pretty darn easily!

Yeah I think it was about 20 or 25 Euro but that was a few years ago. We did it in a rental we drove up from Milan!
