A friend told me once he lost control of his car while driving. In that moment, he spontaneously reacted doing the same thing he did when that happened in Gran Turismo. That saved his life.
I wish I could tell what parts of such games were realistic, and then be able to practice emergency maneuvers - e.g. at 70 mph, cargo falls off the back of a pickup I'm following - just how sharply can I swerve my Toyota Corolla without going into a roll?
Gran Turismo has cartoon physics (or at least the first 4 or 5 did) not the best one to translate from.
That said, you probably won't roll a Corolla (low center of mass and relatively low grip tires) without hitting something like a curb or a surface change. You are more likely to just uncontrollably drive in to an obstacle.
