Ok
(sorry for the possible mistakes in translation...)
As I said, it's in "Fórmula Car&Tecno" magazine's November edition. It really doesn't say very much, it's a three pages article speaking about the differences between F1 2010 and GT5 with and F1 simulator and the reality. The title is: "Fiction or reality? Where is the computer game's limit?"
"Since Gran Turismo was introduced in 1997, every new GT game is expected with impatience. The next one will be GT5, which will be out in December... Unless it's delayed again, since it has been happening since 2008.
In the other hand, F1 2010 from Codemasters is the only game that allows you to drive a Formula 1 Car from your living room, since it has the exclusive of F1's copyright.
In both products, the revolution is related with the arrival of High Definition. In addition, GT5 is the first Driving simulator that claims to offer 3D.
(...)
But, would it be possible to feel the difference between a virtual and a real car by driving them? To test the simulator's fidelity, we have tested both games using the most strict tool: A pilot. Specifically, F1 Virgin Racing third driver: Andy Soucek.
Aside from a F1, Andy drives an 800 hp car in Superleague Formula, and has in his garage cars like Audi R8. He also has driven a lot of kilometers in a Ferrari 458 Italia -the two cars we have selected to test GT5. But the most important thing is that Soucek has "lived" by six months in Virgin's F1 simulator.
To make the test as accurate as possible, Andy has used HD TV's, and a high quality steering wheel with pedals (note: In the photo he's seen playing with a DFGT an Audi R8 in Madrid Circuit). In F1 2010, Soucek drove in a circuit he knows very well: Montmeló. Regarding GT5, the demo version Sony offered us had a feature that allowed us to make the most realistic possible test: 3D. We have asked Andy to test the simulation's realism about graphic elements and cars behaviour: The similarities with the real model and if the F1 behaviour was affected by the car tuning/settings.
In both games the result has been very good, even from a pilot's view.
"When you just have begun playing GT5, the street's, signals and shadows realism catches your eye -in both games the light simulation depending on daytime is incredible, as well as the sunset recreations, the headlights effect during night racing and even the raindrops in the windshield or in the helmet's visor-". However, the driving physics test result was not as good: "In the R8, the engine's sound is far from reality, and the same happens with it's behaviour... However, in the 458 the realism is astonishing. It is just as funny as the real deal.", Andy explains.
Then Andy Soucek gives his opinion about F1 2010, which seems to be very realistic, specially when you drive without electronic aids. However he says it's far from F1 team's simulators.

And that's all folks... There are just a few screenshots and there's nothing new about them...
PD: I LOVE Depeche Mode and Enjoy the Silence is one of my all time's favourite songs!
