kind of a useless feature, especially when the person doesn't play GT5.
Would of been better to have digital gauges like the GTR has |

What's important to me is that this shows Toyota obviously wants and expects this car to be tracked!! |

GT5 isn't the only use for the technology. they imply as much right there in the article.
but since i do play GT5 (well, i will when it ever finally comes out), that might be kinda fun. -Mike

I really dont think this will make it into the car as a standard feature, and besides, Id rather some other performance upgrade from the factory then some kind of map that means nothing to me since I do not play GT5 or even own a PS3

Fuck, if you don't like it, don't buy it. Toyota usually makes you pay for everything, so it will likely be an option rather than standard.
I for one think it's a great and innovative feature, and takes Nissan's gps based speed limiter one step further. A lot can be one with this technology, think outside the box people. |

yes, i'm sure there are more useful things they could add into the car, but this isn't purely a GT5 feature. -Mike

Here’s a video of a test done with an IS-F at Fuji Speedway comparing real life lap to the data uploaded:
[u2b]FfhFvnTfsi8[/U2b] Crazy how accurate it is, there are going to be some major advancements in the use of car telemetry. This could be seriously useful for teams to practice if they can’t do a lot of testing and if GT5’s physics are accurate enough. Maybe people could start setting up cars virtually then running them in real life... |
