For many, the Gran Tursimo series (a racing simulator renowned for its lifelike graphics and accurate physic models) was their first introduction to Japan’s legendary supercar, the Nissan GT-R. Previous generations of the car were sold in limited numbers to only a handful of markets outside of Japan but thanks to the game it developed cult status and awareness all over the world.

The creator of the series, Japanese developer Kazunori Yamauchi was recently given the chance to take the new R35 GT-R around the Nurburgring and his experience of the driving the track in real life is explained in this video.

    You know, I have an XBox connected to a 72 inch HD screen and a steering wheel with pedals, and it just doesn't even come close, I mean not even in the same galaxy, to the real thing.
    I'd still rather drive a Taurus on a nice mountian road than spend hours in fromt of the most realistic simulator...

    But an automatic transmission.

    What is it with manufacturers (and many reviewers) who think we want paddle shifters and some type of multi-clutch gearbox?

    I know I'm not the only one who would be much more interested if there were a third pedal on the floor and a six speed shifter at hand.

    A nice six speed would be great. Any true car guy would agree. But give props to a technilogical marvel.

    With that kind of power I think I would prefer to keep both my hands on the wheel at all times. Paddle shifters will come in handy in that respect.
