Yes. Some racers have sold their cars to buy sim racing gear. It is cheaper and very realistic.
Can sims cause recklessness though? When I went to the real track the first time I found I went faster than my ability. Not having experienced a real crash I did not fear it enough. I've had to remind myself that there is no reset button in the real car, unfortunately.

Tip: get the Field Of View correct for your game so distances aren't skewed.
