I think when Polyphony Digital created this game, I think they also considered these factors. It’s just that the engines they have for realistic processing isn’t that good yet during those times. Also, I think they know their limits, especially simulating a real-life car while seating on a sofa and not feeling the G-forces. With that, they made the most of what they can to give a sure 80-90% simulation.

Yep. We need to consider a lot of factors. Road temperature, humidity, coefficient of friction, etc. Even the earth’s rotation comes into play at that speed. Even if its physics is as accurate as it can be, it cannot simulate real-life conditions.

Interesting. But do note that GT2 is a driving sim. As accurate as we would like it to be, the physics doesn’t exactly match the real world.
