E9X M3 in GT5 vs. E9X M3 in RL. Same driver.

Interesting to say the least.

Really is a great way to learn a track you’ve never been to. While I wouldent exspect you could go out and turn the same times in a real car vs the same car in the game at least you would have a pretty accurate layout burned into memory so when you get out there your not suprised by anything and know what to exspect. Hell I’ve seen a lot of articles about how real drivers use these types of games to stay fresh on tracks they haven’t been to in awhile.

I believe thats what iRacings original intent was for?
