Why does going 200 km/h In A Racing Game Look Like Going 100 km/h In Real Life?

Specifically games like Forza and Need for Speed, are these games just not realistic or is there another reason?

A point to consider from the real world is that your brain somehow gets used to it and is not good at perceiving absolute speed.

For example, anyone who has driven 200 km/h on the autobahn will tell you that speed perception gets distorted and after a while might feel like you’re only driving 120 km/h. You notice this perception change when you pull off onto the exit to a rest place and realise you’re still going 120 km/h.
