Judging by this comparison video, the framerate in real-life is awful! Sony’s released a video pitting Gran Turismo 7’s virtual rendition of Willow Springs against the real thing, and it makes for compelling viewing. The in-car footage is using a GoPro in the cockpit, so it looks a lot livelier than the game’s silky smooth bumper cam, but you get a feel for the identical track details and (perhaps crucially) car physics.
In fact, it’s mind boggling how accurate the game is, from the camber of the road to the placement of individual advertising hoardings and even the shape of faraway mountains. Some will probably take issue with the cleanliness of Gran Turismo 7’s overall presentation, but in terms of replicating the actual track, it’s frighteningly authentic.
The gameplay footage was captured by content creator Super GT, while the real-life car was driven by Dai Yoshihara, and you can learn a little more about both of them and their thoughts on the track in the video embedded below:

Roll on March 4th.
Impressive stuff. You can tell the game footage because of the extra foliage and the random hot-air balloons in the air, and the actual footage has copious skid marks on the road. Would be nice to see the skid marks in the game, and perhaps they will accumulate as cars leave them throughout the race.
Either way, the game is sizing up to look fantastic.
The game looks so real until you compare it to the real thing and then it's obvious that the foilage and track don't look like the real thing.
Don’t put “Virtual” and “Reality” on a GT7 video and then not have a VR announcement. You bloody teases!
Looking forward to playing this, going to finish horizon first, then on to this, then pick up elden ring afterwards or something to play along with when the inevitable rage quit rears its head lol.
Real thing wins obviously.
Especially comparing track detail. Also, real humans move and don't stand there like cardboard cut outs. Also, I think I saw a Sun ray in reality, but GT7 even with dated visuals and engine can't implement raytracing.... lol. Even had they just add detail to tracks making them look less sterile, would have gone a huge way in adding visual appeal.
But hey at least you can look at a 2-dimensional picture of a table with drinks and cigars and read/watch nonsense about the history of cars!
@Th3solution i agree. The skid marks give the track that well used, gritty look to them. GT7 looks pristine and clinically clean like someones been out there with a scrubbing brush cleaning the track 😂. Still looking forward to the game tho immensely.
4th of March booked off work ✅
Racing wheel out the loft ✅
Wife told to make herself scarce for the day ✅

😂 Love that. Just make sure she doesn’t have the credit card with her.
@Th3solution i might have to give her the card just to get rid of her 😉
@thefourfoldroot Haha, I thought the same!
@get2sammyb
I’m going to tell myself it’s a subtle hint. Just because, lol.
Honestly the game looks amazing, but I don't think this does them any favours. It looks far too clean and sterile compared to real life. They should have shot worse, less cinematic, footage for the real life shots and either added branding to the car in game or removed it from the car in real life
V8 Supercars season starts and GT7 releasing all in the same weekend.
Petrol overload!!!
I loved that track in GT Sport. The sound of a V8 echoing across the valley was phenomenal.
A lot to really like and admire in the video, but much like other comments, I wished the track itself was more life-like with skid-marks, grit and grime. I’ll still be getting it though
Interesting - it shows how unrealistic the PS5 game’s racing is. It’s too smooth; I expect one day, the jitter and nuanced movements of the cars will be much more accurately conveyed.
If that is the best they can do Sony should be worried, Forza Motorsport 7 on the Xbox One X looks better and that was released over 4 years ago.
Love the music.
In reality, nobody thinks hot air balloons are a reasonable way to watch a race.
Find your line march 7. I skipped Alden ring to get GT7. I havent played a gran turismo game in so long.
