NFS shift vs. Reality - Me vs. Marc Basseng on Nürburgring Nordschleife

The video shows Marc Basseng driving the actual lap record for close-to-production vehicles on the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 6:47 min with a Pagani Zonda R and me doing the lap in 6:40 min with the same car in Need for Speed shift.

It's pretty awesome how realistic the game is since we are running head to head most of the lap.

With this video i did not want to say: "See how realisitc the game is" since i think my driving skills are not like the ones of Marc Basseng. But also I think Marc and his team did not have the propability to set up the car perfectly (drive train, downforce...) and also I think Marc drove a safe lap and not a push-it-to-the-limits-lap.

By the way: My few small mistakes did not cost to much time and the rest of the lap was good so I think it accords well to the real speed.

How is that realistic? You beat his time by 7 seconds (an eternity in racing), and you drove like a jackass and bounced off guard rails and walls?

@Destronus NFS World isn't NfS Shift! That are 2 totally different games.

NFS World is crap

@cyberslick18

well, same car, same track, same time. the game can't be pure fiction. he maybe made some minor mistakes, that's right, but he can drive like a lunatic without the fear of certain death, so he can really push it to the limits and beyond to compensate those mistakes.

If you play NFS world, A Porsche GT3 RS can travel up to speeds of 410 km/h.

O_O

i realized whats the only thing that makes d game different of d reality: d reflections if the interiors od the car in the windshield and the glass of the instruments panel, even the shadows are better in-game XD

[LAMBofLUCI]

@cyberslick18 he means graphics man obviusly it wont never be the same thing, the games dont make you feel the g-force ahhhhh they should...

[SuperLuigiGalaxy242]

Need for speed will never be realistic. It's such trash now. I'll stick to Forza 3, manual with clutch, no assists, simulation damage, and no hud please.
