What GT7 Lets You Get Away With (and iRacing Doesn't)

People tell me Gran Turismo 7 isn't a proper sim, and they're probably right. So I raced two 24 hour events in iRacing, ten weeks apart, to find out what a hardcore sim actually teaches you, and whether any of it carries back across. Rather than argue about which game is better, this is about the mistake budget: the allowance every racing game gives you before it starts charging for your errors, what living on a small one did to my racecraft, and why GT7's enormous one is the reason it works. ❤️ Drop a like, comment and subscribe to my channel for more content coming up!
