Forza and the Nürburgring

adwebinc said:

I know the Nürburgring is a tough course and I have driven it in Forza over 20 times so far. I am wondering if anyone who has actually driven the Nürburgring has since tried the track in Forza (or Vice Versa, but the game is pretty new) and could do a comparison.

Also, do you think that with enough "track time" in Forza, I would be able to drive the real Nürburgring efficiently during my ED in July?

I didn't play Forza, but I have 'almost' memorized the track on GT4.

I have driven on the real 'Ring the first time a few weeks ago. Believe me, after the second corner you are forgetting everything you have learned in the game All you are doing is trying to stay on the course and drive safely while checking your rearview mirror 10 times per second.

Do not forget that you are not driving against the clock, the Nordschleife (North Loop), as it is actually called, is an experience. You are there to enjoy the course, not to win. You won't get a prize at the end, but you'll have a bigass grin on your face once you completed your lap.

It's a great source of information and it's in english language.

Do not forget one thing ; Respect the Ring, do not overestimate yourself. Once you left the gate, remember how much attention you paid when you first drove a car in your life, and drive like you did on that very first day.

Yes, you'll be able to drive on the 'Ring.
