It's been raining for weeks (off and on) in northern AZ. I got itchy to drive and got into the Gran Tursimo 4 (PS2) game. I've actually had it a while but never really got into it. After a week or two I've all but mastered the Ring and found the trick is to maintain a solid track line and using proper approaches and exit speeds to improve my lap times. The skills, relative to finding the best line into various turns and fastest lines, are uncanny, just like the actual road and/or track skills to acheive the best results. I've been surprised how many of us (so called mature guys) are playing this "excellent" driving game. I wonder how many of you play this game and what you think about it's value as a practical learning tool?

Here's a cartoon a drew to illustrate the feeling as you maneuver the Gran Tursimo 4 courses...
