Have you ever thought how close to actually racing around a circuit have latest racing simulation games reached? How accurate has the track been transferred to the game or how similarly to real life the car behaves? Or just how easy it is to simulate a real life lap time? Well, Tiff Needell and Henry Catchpole have and they set out to find out, using an X-Box 1, Forza Motorsport, and an Audi R8 V10.
The test takes place around the Silverstone National Circuit with Tiff behind the wheel of a 520hp Audi R8 V10 and Henry behind the controller of an, at least similarly coloured, virtual counterpart. While we will not spoil the result, we will report that while in reality Tiff Needell battle with some understeer, it was the other way around for Henry Catchpole who enjoyed massive drifts while getting out of corners, as a result of the lack of feedback from the controller.
