Yeah...Gran Turismo 5 has sensation effects for the time. Still way ahead the majority of other racing games (for pure completeness).
Make.Believe
In other news...Lake Maggiore is a sensational track to race on. Just going through the Mission Challenges and completed a stonking GT3 race there with my Mazda Atenza GT3. I mean, this is brilliant track design and gameplay. Lake Maggiore is the best fictional track I've ever raced on, period.
What an experience.
