"The depth of field shifts as the car reaches top speed, the camera subtly moving back to mimic the driver's head being forced back by the velocity..."
Please, never put "serious racers" together with what transpires from the previous IGN quote.
There's no such thing in real physics as being forced back by the velocity: the apparent force is proportional to the _acceleration_

Funny. I have been in a doubled drive F50. If your floor it yes absolutely your head is forced back. It's called G-force.

Funny, being a theoretical physicist and having written software and built hardware for pro-level flight simulators you would think I would know what I'm talking about :)
Pleeease, go back and dust your high-school physics textbooks...

I couldnt care less what you've studied. Anyone who has been in a car with more than 200bhp will tell you, floor it and your head will be thrown back. Thats what the game simulates. You obviously havent watched the vid in the OP. The racing driver who has experienced all the movements a driver feels in a cockpit is the guy behind this.
Hell as and F1 fan for more than 15 years, it's common sense to know that those guys physicaly cant control there heads because of the force. And when F1 drivers brake hard, they can blackout for up to 1.4 seconds. Dont believe me go look it up.
You dont need degrees when you have driver accounts and personal experience. I dont need a degree to drive a car. So quit with the put downs.

You're losing it :)
Floor it and your head will be thrown back _as long as the car accelerates_ Floor it on an icy patch with wheels spinning and a constant velocity and you won't feel any force. Do you know the difference between speed and acceleration?
The day we'll use common sense instead of physics and maths when building cars, planes and bridges will be the day when I retire into a cave and wait for the dust to settle.
And yes, you don't need degrees, as I said high-school physics should be enough.

So IGN use the wrong word. Does that mean the devs are wrong? I dont see Icy patches on the roads that are in the game do you?
So the only thing you prove is that IGN worded the article wrong. However the games achievement is bang on line with what racing srivers experience.
It's easy to do 200mph on GT or Forza and just get ready for the braking zone. But I'd like to see anyone drive a real car that quick without crapping themselves. Shift is attempting to make the player feel dangerously on the edge. And by the sounds of things suceed at this.
