LOL IGN editor would be a poor choice for a gamer.....
And just to keep this story interesting we dragged along Justin Kaehler, gaming editor extraordinaire from IGN.com, and Champ Car driver AJ Allmendinger, to see which background provided the best training for virtual-versus-reality gaming. Who would pull the best times? Would it be the hard-core gamer, the professional racer, or the deluded automotive journalist who thinks he's both?
 
Wrong. I can't manage better than 1 minute, 52 seconds in the harsh reality of…well, reality. Where did those 14 seconds go? Most of them disappeared on the front straight I just described. Sure, the track's layout and visual cues are all the same as in Gran Turisimo 4. But careening over a blind crest at 100-plus mph is somehow different when seated in Ford's $150,000 exotic press car than it is when seated on a Sparco race seat, staring at a widescreen LCD. Very different.

This sounds very similar to what Jeremy said after piloting the NSX around Laguna Seca.
