I was actually in 830th place in 2012 GT Academy using a G27 wheel with no prior experience in real life. My first time ever at the track was in August 2012, where the instructor was very surprised at how well I was tackling corners and how well I kept my car handling neutral with very little over/understeer. He joked that he didnt need to be in the car with me, but then of course as a 'newbie' there were some things I had to improve on that I would never had gotten with GT5.

But I do understand where youre coming from and I agree with you, GT5 can only do so much but in real life nothing beats feeling the G forces pushing you back and forth and side to side.
