I would agree with you Dav, But you must think, I could drive a sirocco all day long at Nordschleife, However, Is it ever going to feel "right" in someones living room/dining room/basement?
There's only so much a computer can do, Yes, It can simulate movement (Wheel and motion platform) But it will never recreate the feel of the leather gripping you abit more at certain speeds, I think thats where most sim racing games should trade off the realism bit, You can only do realism so much, Look at iRacing for example, It's just getting it's "realistic" tire model out in august, Will it ever be realistic? Maybe... But it won't be the same as actually driving said car.
