unless you guys have actual video/photo's this discussion should be relocated to another part of the forum.

It's a simulation, and, plus, I don't think anyone is being terribly serious here, anyways. Everyone gets a little antsy. We've been waiting for this car for a long time. Give the guy a break.

I want a yellow FRS too!!!

Allow me to express something, because I think it's relevant to your post Andy. This console simulation game, GT5, is also something actual drivers use to learn tracks. Not even that, there's selected people going Professional by going into GT Academy. Look it up.

Then there's iRacing. Which it may not be relevant to the 86 itself. But that game is as real as it gets. With iRacings existence you can't really say "It's a game - it's not real." Because it's digital professional competition.

Ok.... It's still a game and not real... No matter how good it gets it will never be like the real deal. And again it's a video game so yeah we can say it's not real.

I think everybody will agree that GT5 is a game, and not the real world.
Thats why people refer to it as a simulator. No one here will argue it is not a real car we are driving.
But since we cant drive GT86 in real life, it is the closest thing we come simulating real life. And Iracing is probably the the game with the most accurate physics available to consumers.

Sorry this kinda off topic, but since Squatch86 mentioned GT-Acadamy, Iracing, learning tracks and since this discussion got a little into sim racing and real life.
Id tough some guys might enjoy watching this video.

And that GT5 is the best IRL simulator when it comes to consoles only.

ichitaka05 · 01-06-2012, 01:20 PM

^iirc didn't Top Gear do lil test how those simulation racing game driver can get close to the real driver (or something like that) by bringing one of iRacing champ to racing in F1 (or F3? Can't remember) & TA the. Course & difference between him & the Pro driver was 3 secs or something like that.

Do anyone remember that article?

Squatch86 · 01-06-2012, 03:20 PM

top gear did it at laguna seca with a NSX and a digital NSX on GT4

Yeah, iRacing is serious stuff! If I remember correctly, you can launch your career on iRacing. Hell, look at those in the Signatech Nissan Oreca03. Came straight from a video game, went through GT Academy, now they're racing the Sebring 12 hours, LeMans 24 hours... etc
