Games are used even by race drivers and give a feel for what the track looks like but the changes in camber, gradient and surface are absent from that experience.
Get onto vimeo and youtube and search for gt3 and nordscliefe nurburgring and watch those instead.
And of course the Nurburgring crash videos on youtube.
This is a BMW film which is well worth watching about the ring Born on the Nurburgring Official BMW Film - YouTube |
I think Gran Turismo does a fairly decent job of capturing the cambers, but surface grip would be harder to get accurately. I'd hate to have the job of accurately getting the way you need to drive the surface of my indoor kart track with all its variations!
I'll certainly give you the surface part.
Some corners at the 'ring are much much faster than you think, and some, are much much slower than you think.
