Let $tau:GL(n,mathbbR) rightarrow GL(V)$ be a rational representation of the general linear group of degree $n$ on a finite-dimensional real vector space $V$. Let $C$ be an irreducible real algebraic set in $V$ such that the action of $GL(n,mathbbR)$ on $V$ induced by $tau$ leaves the set $C$ invariant.
We endow $C$ with the subspace topology inherited from (Hausdorf) Euclidean topology of $V$. Supose there is a point $vin C$ such that the orbit $GL(n,mathbbR)⋅v$ is an open subset of $C$.
My questions is: is it true that the orbit $GL(n,mathbbR)⋅v$ must be a Zariski-open subset of $C$?

No, not at all. Take for $V$ the space of quadratic forms on $mathbb R^n$, let $v=sum_ix_i^2$ be the standard form, and $C=V$. Then $GL(n,mathbb R)v$ is the set of positive definite forms. So, it is Hausdorff open but not Zariski open. NB: This example even works for $n=1$.
