no, but its fun watching it :-)

You may be interested to know that if you were to reverse your question and
ask whether or not real race car drivers can learn anything from a good driving
sim (such as Sportscar GT), the answer is most certainly yes. When Jacques
Villeneuve advanced from CART/PPG to FORMULA 1, he was faced with the revelation
that he had never seen or driven on many of the F1 circuits that he would be
competing on. Jacques readily admits that he used GP2 (the FORMULA 1 simulator)
in order to help him learn the basic track layouts instead of having to waste
valuable time during the 1st practice session doing so. Jacques has said that
although occasionally there may be minor discrepancies between the tracks in GP2
and the real-life circuits, on the whole he felt that the driving sim was very
beneficial.

Any idea if he is any good at GP2? Which FF wheel does he use?

Gee, my memory must be failing, as my recollection was that JV thought
the track depiction in GP2 was very good and he was able to take pole by
first familiarising Spa using it.
