Respondents generally agree that electronic racing games such as Gran Turismo are fun, but no substitute for the real thing.

No. They can be fun, but video games cannot give you the g forces and they don't make you face the consequences of irresponsible driving

They simulate real driving as well as they simulate football or war: hardly at all. No gs, no wind, no kids screaming in the back seat.

Rick Mayhew, Silver Springs, Md.

Unfortunately, as accurate as the physics and driving characteristics of the vehicles are getting, the actual experience isn't anywhere close to real.
