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?

I play GT-4 quite a bit, but not for learning tracks. I just drive lots of different tracks and Nurburgring-Nordschleife to keep in practice of looking ahead and keep my reactions up. Plus I have a modified third-gen Camaro and kind of "feels" similar to my car.
