Hello pal

I haven't seen it mentioned here, but Jeremy gave GT4 an actual review back when it came out. He asked sony to give him a version of the game with all cars unlocked because his career meant he had actually driven most of the cars in the game in real life. He praised the game for its graphics and simulation but critiscised it for its complete lack of a damage model and certain unrealistic abilities while driving (like being able to brake and accelerate as shown in this video)

I did not expect Clarkson to be so adept behind the controller.

His track times on the real Laguna were 2'01", 1'59", and last one 1'57". Other than the differences in the game vs real life, he attributed being mindful about not crashing as a big factor for the 20 sec time difference compared to the in game time.

It's nice seeing a man who drive almost every car in the world playing a racing game and do his usual commentary on it. "The DB9, no it's not a racing car it's just pornography" 😂
