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 have a celeron 2.4, 1G RAM and a GeForce 6500/256.
Is that a fast enough machine to run GTRx? |

Asus MB Quad Duo 2.8 4GB 8800GTS 512M Logitach G25 blah, blah, blah And have been running GT Legends. It certainly doesn't have the same feel as the real thing. But it is helping me smooth out my technique, experiment with chassis tuning scenarios and fine tune coordination. It was a chunk of change and switching PCs is a royal PITA. I hope it will pay dividends. |
