GT5 vs. Real Life: 1.6L Miata at Laguna Seca

Description

Just like my last video comparison of my turbo Miata (Mazdaspeed Miata) at Laguna Seca (other video is here: www.youtube.com I decide to also compare my 1.6L Miata at Laguna Seca with the virtual version in GT5. Mods are listed as in the beginning of the film and the virtual version of my real car is recreated as closely as possible in the game. Immediately after, I did 15-20 laps with no practice to see if the virtual car matches the real car in terms of personal best lap times (game vs. real life). The result: the best lap time are even closer than the turbo test I did 2 weeks ago! It's down to the hundredth of a second, or the second decimal place! Of course, there are some things to be said about the footage: 1. Just like my other comparison test with my turbo Miata (www.youtube.com I'm faster and slower in the game than in real life. Particularly, turns 5 and 6. Yet again, like the other test, I'm faster in real life in turn 5, but slower in turn 6. That simply comes down to bravery for turn 6; I'm braver in the game because I fear the left-side walls in real-life, so I take it easy though there. Turn 5 is faster in real life because I can feel the brakes and grip easier in real life than the game. 2. Just like my real life car, the virtual one steers similarly to the game. 3. In the game, I don't have a clutch or an H-pattern shifter. Instead, I had only a sequential shifter with no clutch pedal. I need to do this test again in the future with a Logitech G25 or G27 <b>...</b>
