I am fairly new to the road racing arena. Would practicing road-racing via realistic video gaming at home help my driving skills? Or, would it be a waste of time?

Okay it may be a little expensive , but I have yet to see a sim even come close to the realism that was affordable for the home. Most it ever did was help with memory of the track layout and that was marginal at best. I will default to the real thing and leave the sims for passing the time with friends.
