Yes, that’s great advice. I’ve actually improved my driving skill substantially by regular racing in a simulator. It’s helpful to run the tracks you plan on driving in real life before you get there.

Some simulators let you turn on a racing line so you can see roughly where you should position the car on track, and roughly where your braking points should be. Use this as an aid only, and don’t rely on it. You want to get used to looking at the actual brake markers on the track. These are usually signs that say 400, 300, 200, 100 as you approach a corner, giving the distance to the corner as you approach. Some tracks may have other indicators you can use, such as a curb, bleachers, signs, grass, etc. to help you gauge distance.

Whether on track or in a simulator, focus on being smooth and consistent. Speed comes with practice.

Try “driving” the Ring on a full-motion VR system first. They now replicate the Ring extremely well. It’s like trying to drink water from firehose on your first lap otherwise.
