Another of the video game vs the real world. This time Tiff Needell

The thing that I noted was that Needell has real seat time at the track. They should have done the experiment at Nurburgring, the track Baker claimed to be great at. This way, both would be familiar with the track and its nuances. -Will |

While the 'Ring is open to the public so every yahoo (including me!) can take a go, they'd have to be mighty careful about letting Baker shoot for a fast time on it. Just too many blind curves with little-to-no runoff. But I'm sure he would have jumped at the chance. Hopefully I'll get a shot at a few laps there on a biz trip next week. But I don't expect to compete with my GT4 times, no sir. |

The things which catch out the roadgoing cars are the compressions at speed (Fuchsrohre, PflantzgartenII). Also, it may take longer than one might think to stabilise the car and slow it down effectively for the tighter sections. Other than that it's pretty safe if there aren't a miliion nutters on motorbikes around, IMO. Jan. =--- |

Who happens to know what that winning time was that Mr. Baker set at the Nurburgring in GT4 ? (was that a full lap or BTG?)
