How realistic is GT5?

For many Gran Turismo players this is always the big question… How real is GT5 actually?

Well you sit on your couch driving 700 bhp cars at top speed on tracks like the Nurburgring Nordschleife, in real life you should change your pants after you did that so the the realism stops there (not on your couch obviously but in a real car   ). But Gran Turismo 5 actually is a very acurate game when it comes to car models, tracks and physics and that is what this video shows. The car driven is the Toyota GT86 wich recently is released on GT5 as free DLC doing a full lap on Fuji Speedway, you can see that not only the graphics are like in the game but the car also handles the same with that fun amount of oversteer the GT86 has. Enjoy the video and why not do a lap in the GT86 yourself to see how you do
