I disagree.

I was within 3 seconds of my live versus PS2 times on both Infineon AND Laguna Seca on my first and second DE days...ever.

The key? You can play it like a game or you can use it like a simulator. I have a driving cockpit with wheel and pedals. I set the Ruf 3400S to 245 HP (I had a 2.7 at the time) and I put on street tires. Drove like I wanted to make sure I didn't "wreck my car".

On shorter tracks, you can "play" and get great times.

That, and Jeremy Clarkman is an idiot.
