Playing GT5 back to back with iRacing - to test the squash ball under the DFGT's brake pedal mod (which works rather well!) - GT5's force feedback and physics is not a miles apart from iRacing at all. GT5 even has all the bumps and chatter like iRacing, depending on the car off course. Some tracks and cars have it more so then others, stiffer suspensions will feel it more.
Both games feel quite similar IMO
You need to squeeze the squash ball in and push it as far down under the pedal arm as you go
In iRacing when you calibrate it first without, and then put it in, and leave the calibration as before, you can set the brake curve to 1, ie linear and you'll never lock your brakes again
With GT5, because it is calibrated it every time you start the game, by fully depressing it, you need to remove the ball and then put it back afterwards. Or you can leave it in, and press as hard as you can, but then you won't have the full range. You'll still have much better feel either way

testing the RUF RGT (new purchase) on Indy road couyse was in interesting. It has loads of grip if you feed in the accelerator, I guess due to the rear engine layout. I was expecting more back end swing, but I didn't notice anymore than usual. Front end feel light though. Need to drive it differently.
Once you get a custom LSD with 60% locking, it just hammers out of turns! Plus a good suspension setup with more camber at the rear. I drove it around this track faster than my LFA :o
Replays look like crap though - standard model and not one of the good ones :/
