After months of delays and five years in development Gran Turismo 5 is released in the UK today (24 November).

It's PlayStation's most successful racing game series, selling 56 million copies since the first edition hit the shops in 1997.

But how does it compare to the real thing and does it match up to the competition; titles like Forza Motorsport 3, F1 2010 and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit?

We've taken two Radio 1 listeners down to the Top Gear test track (which has been included in Gran Turismo for the first time) and to Sony HQ in London to give Newsbeat their verdict.
