IBy now, you may have seen the early clip of Sony's Gran Turismo for PSP commercial featuring Rhys Millen driving a Corvette ZR1 at Laguna Seca, while Tanner Foust does the very same thing on PSP from the passenger seat.

Well, Sony has made a "making of" movie about the commercial, and you can see to what lengths the company went to make the real-life action on the track match what was happening in the game. Foust is racing against a Ford GT, a Nissan GT-R and an E39 BMW M5 in the game, so those same cars are on the track. Rod Millen apparently drove the GT.

In shooting the ZR1, says Stephanie Yoshimoto, senior product marketing manager for Sony, "we worked to replicate the camera used in the game. The cameras were mounted just as they would be in the game -- third-person view, first-person view. That was the goal really to make sure we replicated the game with the actual commercial."

Foust, she says, picked up the game easily and didn't get carsick. "He could deal with being thrown from side to side at 130 mph, going through the corkscrew and all that."

The 30-second commercial is after the jump.

Holy shit every fucking GT video I go on I always see some argument about forza. If you have a Xbox 360 and have a love for cars like I do then get forza...if you have a ps3 then get GT. Stop starting stupid arguments it's retatarted.

8 people couldn't finish the race in first place and they couldn't pass the driving challenge with bronze silver and gold and they couldn't pass the first one of learning the basics.

@newlyfoundrenegade Word! They still thinkin' we were in a fight of "who of you has the longest co**" But if you are a real car enthusiast, then you don't care if it ps3, xbox, forza or gt. At least, you'll driver awesome cars on awesome platforms eitherway!

@freakylier911 in many ways, gt5 actually is better, but it's not as fun
