I love video games and have been sim racing for a very long time. Not as much recently though because of time constraints.
I have also been fortunate to have grown up around racing, worked in racing, and have driven countless laps on many tracks.
My personal experience: Sim lets you learn a track and gives you a head start. However I don't think it helps me with feeling the car. The little things like new tires vs old tires, full tank of gas vs half a tank etc.. I only get that sitting in a real car.
