I wish he wouldn't spend all his time joyriding in these fantastic cars and help make the development of the game...I have become totally and utterly impatient of this game's release.

They do seem to be releasing everything but the game...

@rally, I jumped ship and bought an Xbox to get Forza 3, and I LOVE it. I didn't think a game could be more realistic and rewarding than GT4, but Forza 3 is, and then some. The "sense" of tires on the tarmac is uncanny. Amazing. GT is the first simulator that got me excited, so I hope they can answer

@jederino,

Play Race Pro. I've got Forza 3 as well and it's a lot of fun, but Race Pro is the most realistic simulator on the market hands down for a console (and it's on Xbox 360). Forza 3 has great graphics and a fantastic selection of cars, but if you want realism, Forza is absolutely terrible compared to Race Pro.

With Forza there is no sense of speed, all the cars travel at the same pace. The tires on the tarmac feel like they're floating as opposed to generating friction, and the steering is pathetic...but the game is a blast with the tracks and car selection. Again, if you want to try something real get Race Pro for the 360.

Was this during the 24 hour Nurburgring race? The Porsches and Corvette that tore past him seemed to be going at it pretty hard. And its either kudos to the E36 BMW driver for managing to stay in front of him as long as he could or the Toyota guys told Kaz not to wad up their car. He didn't seem to be going at it particularly hard.
