It's a feature that well over 90% of all GT5 consumers won't use, but... for the small percentage of consumers that do, it is an extremely valuable feature that enables competitive or aspiring racers to break down their on-track performances at the end of a session.

And yes, something like this would be valuable even to professional racers as the information it provides is better than sector split times and video feed combined.

So no, the feature doesn't mean anything to most GT users. If you are just a gamer, this probably means you.

But no, this doesn't make it pointless in any way shape or form to those who will use it, namely the more serious drivers who use GT as a driver's tool rather than just as an entertaining game.


I'd say 99%

You say 90%... and people tell me it will sell 10million... so 1 million will use it? 

I also think most professional racers are utilising more than mere sector splits and video....  much much more.

Most motorsports drivers don't have the funding nor access to the tools sponsored pro drivers have.

Where you're getting "You say 90%" is a mystery to me when what you should have read was "well over 90% of all GT5 consumers."

Lastly, the majority of competitive racers who would use lap tracking data don't have the privilege of being professional racers. There are far more amateurs than professionals, just like any competitive sport. And any amateur who would spend the money for a track day would be nuts not to want lap data like this to learn from when they're done.

You say 99% of all GT5 users won't use the feature? I say 99% of all drivers who would participate in track days or amateur track events don't have access to the tools well funded professional teams have.

I'll leave it to everyone else to decide which statement is more accurate.
