Gran Turismo vs Mercedes

A new challenge has been set up by Mercedes to allow 24 lucky people to race David Coulthard, the F1 grand prix driver. The catch, David Coulthard will be trying to do 10 laps as fast as possible in a real SLS AMG. Once that is done, the 24 people will be doing the same in a specially modified version of the Gran Turismo game and trying to beat his time.

This could be an interesting matchup between gamers who can possible get away with slightly more in their cars and how they drive and an F1 driver doing it for real where any mistake could have a serious consequence.

My guess would be on one of the Gran Turismo drivers to win this, but it should be worth a look.
