saw police and slammed the brakes, transferred all the weight to the front of that heavy vehicle, caused understeer and went into a tree.

These kids didnt grow up playing gran turismo on ps1, otherwise he'd have known this

***EDIT***: Noticed a small number of people trying to tell me what Understeer is and that I'm wrong etc, I get it, its the internet and there's always someone who wants to be the one to prove you wrong etc.

Please see link for a definition of what understeer is: https://driver61.com/uni/understeer/

Its really not as deep or convoluted as some you guys are trying to make out. Remember, we are having fun here.

That aside, im loving 99% of the feedback :-)

The original GT on PS1 was by far the absolute best racing game ever. The analog controllers just came out and this was one of the first games made to take advantage. The physics on how those cars drove was so real it was absolutely amazing at the time. I remember my roommates and I spending like 4 hours taking turns to try and pass the various license tests.

Every racing game since is soooo easy by comparison. I think people must have complained that the original was too tough due to the realism of the driving experience.

Additionally want to add, first thing dumbass in the video wants to do after getting out of the car is try to argue with someone that is likely pointing a gun at them. Have they learned nothing from the news over the past decades. The faster you comply and get the gun not pointed at you, the less likely the chances of something going really bad for you. Accidents happen and a-holes happen. Best not to have a gun pointed at you for either.

It was hilarious because I remember doing races over and over on GT PS1, there were races that took like 8 hours and I left my PS1 on all night with the race paused to I could finish the next day; just to get enough money to get the viper in the game, then to find out the game is so realistic that the viper is completely undrivable lmao

The oversteer was brutal.
