Hey All,
Recently I went to my very first track day, didn't do any driving but got to ride shotty/passenger in a lot of different cars, but mainly FRS's. Maaan, you can watch all the youtube videos you want but actually being inside the vehicle IRL just cannot be accurately portrayed in any media. After that experience, I know now that for all the little voices in my head that told me "MORE POWAH. WANT" the car as is -
is still way better than I am. 
Anyhow, a few of the guys I met suggested picking up a Racing/Car/Sim Game to play - obviously not entirely representative of real driving, but they said it'd help me understand/get a better feeling for how cars are driven at the limit (corners at various speeds etc), plus the games nowadays do a decent representation of how the different cars handle/feel.
Never touched racing games before, I have Mario Kart 64 and that old Star Wars ep I pod racing game - I was really tempted to pick up an X-box One (though I haven't owned a console since PS2) just for Forza 5, which our cars are an option to use. Thankfully I didn't (a lot of money just for one game) jump the gun, yesterday's STEAM deal was for
Grid Autosport - for about 25 bucks, I did a quick google search to see if our cars were in it - BAM subaru BRZ. So I picked it up, installed it, gave it a few runs before bed -
I didn't finish a single lap without smashing into the walls/destroying the body/totalling the car. I have a lot to learn. I am a terrible driver. I'm guilty of driving the car IRL a little recklessly and I've gotten away with it up until now, but playing last night was sort of a wake up call that I need to learn what I'm doing first before trying to show off - it only takes one mistake.
Anyhow! I'm curious to see if anyone else has more experience playing Racing Sims, and if they've raced our cars in them. Does the car feel different in different games? How'd the BRZ feel in the game compared to IRL?
Any thoughts appreciated,
Cheers
