That's true about simulators. A while back I invested a little money in a sim "rig" to have some fun on tracks I'll never get to drive on and quickly learned it was very hard to run around without crashing. I always played with no assists like traction or stability for the "ultimate" experience.
I play Assetto Corsa which is one of the most realistic racing sims and one of my favorites because the force feedback is stellar on the steering wheel. They even have every little bump on track felt through it which helps immersion and the sounds are top notch. But even with all of that for the first sessions I sucked pretty bad until I got the hang of it. It's great for learning the tracks, counter steer practice, brake and throttle usage but man oh man.. that "seat of the pants" action missing makes it pretty darn hard. Another thing with simulators is that you would drive a lot faster than you would in real life on a track because.. virtual cojones
so you're more likely to crash.
Still good cheap fun
