Anyone else see this? It looks like it will be pretty nuts, kinda like their own version of One Lap of America.

Hey thanks... Yeah I'll keep this in mind before trying to converse with the community on an open forum in a free country.

Having played both Gran Turismo 3, Gran Turismo 4, and Forza a whole hell of a lot, I would have to say overall both of them are pretty damn good interpretations of how a car is in real life, pending tire choice. I would say once you get into the "Racing" tires, the realism kind of goes downhill in GT3/4.

Also, oversteer mechanics seem to be off in both games, with either being too twitchy and throttle dependant, or not enoughso.
