Kato Becomes A Race Car Driver
I'm probably as good of a real-life race car driver as I am in video games, but that's not saying much. I test drove a Porsche 911 Carerra 2S on an actual race track to see if any of my racing experience in video games would translate to the real world. My instructor for the day was Porsche professional factory driver Patrick Long, who not only had some invaluable tips on how to drive race cars, but also wasn't too shabby behind the wheel of Forza 3.
Check out this video of us trading paint in the game and getting behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 Turbo, Porsche 911 Carerra 2S, and the smokin' Porsche GT3 (which Patrick calls a "race car with a license plate").
Also be sure to check out my full story in the new Mass Effect 3 issue of Game Informer (issue #217).
Thanks to videographer Jon Gordon for filming and our own Ben Hanson for editing.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
