When a Racing Game Pushes You Beyond All Limits

Update 1.20 of Gran Turismo 7 gave us Ayrton Senna's legendary McLaren MP4-4 Formula 1 car. Naturally, there is only one thing we could do with this: Take it for a mind-boggling hotlap down the Nurburgring Norschleife.

[@redosoland9063]

just a tip, the gearbox in this car is a dogbox meaning you dont have to use the clutch when upshifting, clutch is only used when downshifting. it makes for some much faster shifting and will take a noticeable amount of time off of your lap

[@redosoland9063]

all around amazing driving though! i was entertained the whole video start to finish

[@kartdriver92]

Not only that, but shifting 6-5-4-3 is slower than they used to as 6-4-3 or so. Many did skipped gears too to stay up on torque

[@dxme9190]

Really? Only knew it had theeth in the synchronizers to sync with the gear faster or better said immediately, which could overrev the engine to death when down shifting to early

Well no fucking shit sherlock, this is a car from the 80s and you're comparing it to a 2010s car 💀💀

[@ElShogoso]

This car is actually a Gran Turismo classic! It was present in Gran Turismo 3, although without the McLaren license and livery, so it was called the F688/S (the 88 comes from the year and the S means Senna).

[@angryginger791]

I'll bet that Senna quote about going for the gap has caused more wrecks in sim racing than any other factor.

[@Ermz]

Senna ruined Monza T1 for all future generations.

[@michaelcords4339]

True. Everyone forgets why he said it in the first place. It was to excuse himself for getting into so many accidents and collisions with other drivers.

[@angryginger791]

@@michaelcords4339 Right. He made a lot of sketchy moves that pissed off a lot of his fellow drivers. It's OK to go for every gap when you are an F1 level driver with all of the talent, skills, and years of experience to make those moves stick, at least most of the time.

[@pennytheshabba]

After about 10 attempts and a few suspension tuning sessions, Best I can manage is a 5:32.556. Amazing feat of engineering brilliance in the car. With Ayrton behind the wheel and some slight aero modifications I'm almost certain it's possible to achieve a sub 5:10. The car is beautifully balanced and the only thing holding it back is straight line speed. It feels so much quicker in the technical parts of the track but only suffers in the long sections to keep pace with the evo.

[@pedrosilvamusician]

Agreed, the car seems to top out way too much, if you could somehow extract a few more KM/H from it maybe put it at 350ish with the aero it would easily be way faster

[@gangly_gamers1279]

Ermin, if your going to do a simulation of the "greats", then you gotta go all in, the gear shifter on the MP4/4 was on the right hand side, that would be a better challenge simulating the real world, just as it would be if you forked out $8Mil for the ride of your life.

In GT auto the MP4/4 has its real life higher downforce package available. Wing and side pod etc
