WHEN GRAN TURISMO GOES BEYOND 3D GRAPHICS - IN A DRAG RACE!

For those of us that don’t have ridiculously high paying jobs or successful YouTube channels, the only real way to experience all the best that motoring has to offer is in the virtual world. PC and console games are a billion dollar industry thanks to this, well in part. A plethora of motoring titles mean that someone sitting at home on their couch can immerse themselves in a world of hypercars and supercars without breaking the bank. If you discount the price of the consoles and the games, of course but they nowhere near total what a real life car costs (unless the car is a real wreck of a beater). When playing these games, especially the better of the game out there, the “driving” experience can be pretty great thanks to legit vehicle soundtracks and as much attention paid to driving dynamics as possible. If you have a sim setup and some decent screens or goggles, this experience can be even better. While some games allow match ups of iconic sportscars so users can see the outcomes, you can also get a feel for it from YouTube videos, and that’s where Mat Watson and crew from carwow come into play.
