Jeremy Clarkson, host of the fun BBC car programme Top Gear, performed a head-to-head test of real life versus GT4 on an episode of the program. He ran Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in real life in an Honda NSX for a lap time of 1.57. His GT4 lap time was 1:41:148. Hilarious watching him try to beat it though. One of my favourite episodes.
