Gran Turismo 4

Gran Turismo 4 (also known as GT4) was released on December 28, 2004 in Japan and Hong Kong (NTSC-J), February 22, 2005 in the United States (NTSC-U/C), and March 9, 2005 in Europe (PAL), and has since been re-issued under Sony's 'Greatest Hits' line. It is on DVD-9 format. After being delayed for over a year and a half by Polyphony Digital, and despite having its online mode removed, Gran Turismo 4 was still one of the most anticipated console games of 2005, and sold a million copies in its first week at Japanese retail. The game features over 700 cars from 80 manufacturers, from as early as the 1886 Daimler Motor Carriage and as far into the future as concepts for 2022. The game also features 51 tracks, many of which are new or modified versions of old Gran Turismo favourites. Notable real-world track inclusions are the Nürburgring Nordschleife, Suzuka Circuit, and Le Mans Circuit de la Sarthe; tracks modeled after world famous attractions such as New York's Times Square, Hong Kong, Paris, and Las Vegas.
The Gran Turismo series has always attempted for the most realistic racing experience possible. 500 to 700 parameters define the driving characteristics of the car physics model. According to the developers, a professional driver was invited to set times using the same car on the Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit, and the GT4 lap times were within 2% of the real life equivalent.[citation needed]

Jeremy Clarkson, host of the Top Gear television program, 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 Acura NSX for a lap time of 1:57. His GT4 lap time was 1:41:148. Clarkson, however, used a Honda NSX-R to clock the lap time in the game. The NSX-R, sold only in Japan, is a lighter and faster version of the standard NSX.

Clarkson also had to be shown by a race driving instructor where the line was between the game and reality. He pointed out that adjusting one's braking mid-turn in a real car could cause loss of control, and also mentioned that in the game, he is compelled to take bigger risks than he would in real life, and that in the game, the car did not suffer from brake fade.
