There was a time long ago when Gran Turismo was the gold standard in console racing simulators, but after being out of the game (so to speak) for so long you’d be forgiven for being a little hesitant to step back behind the wheel. Competitors like Forza Motorsport and Project CARS have since taken the spotlight f...
