GRID 24 Hours Le Mans | Game vs Reality

Watch in high quality (recommended):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhD-5GZSbFY&fmt=18

The car used in both reality and game was the Chevrolet Corvette C6-R.

The original video was taken in a pre-qualifying lap from a camera strapped to the hood of the car.

The game video features yours truly driving skills, or lack of. All driver assistances are on and transmission is set to manual, keyboard was used (no fancy G25 for me... yet)

I made this video to depict how well the original track was portrayed in the game. The first time I watched the original video I was amazed at how I could anticipate every corner... just from in-game experience.

GRID is truly an excellent racing game.

Hope you enjoy ^^

Cars sound Better on GRID lol

The point of this video wasn't to say that the gameplay was realistic, but how the track is exceptionally well done to the real thing. As far as the gameplay, GRID is not a simulation, obviously, but it isn't an arcade racer either. Codemasters designed the game to be a bit of half and half, to make it easy to pick up and play, harder to master, but to just give it a go and be proud of a podium finish knowing that you did the work required. In that aspect, they did a fantastic job.

@primarch4 - I tried and made it to about 10.5 hours, was in first place, but then an AI car came up behind me and put me into a wall

@leg1337 Taking every corner at full speed with the f3000 car i think it is. is that even close to be a sim? awful game to be honest

[TheDarskx]

i couldnt care less i still like the game

[primarch4]

i wonder how many people have done real 24hrs in a grid lemans 24 hour track does anyone know?

Oh my god... I always HATED the sound in Grid. Listening to the real corvette now makes my cray. Almost :D Real cars sound like cars. Not like vacuum cleaners...

I can see that Codemasters couldn't get all the rights and Trademark from A.C.O., hence the almost absence of ads around the track. And gameplay-wise, GRiD, is no a simulator, nor an arcade game, it follows the gameplay basics from Race Driver 3 (TOCA 5)

It doesn't look sped up to me. Only blurrier. WTF is with blur anyway? I want crisp and clear graphics, not myopia simulations!
