I think what they are saying is that it does not simulate being in the car
(what can out side of a hydraulic machine!). I do know this, Jacques
Villeneuve used PC to learn the layout at SPA. When he raced Spa for the
first time they asked him why he was so quick there and he said "I have been
on this track alot on my PC" this is quoted from his book "Villeneuve
winning in style".
"I did my homework on this track I watched lots of videos of Ayrton Senna on
one of his great qualifying runs and I also played a new video game which
gives you a quite realistic impression of the track". It goes on to say "It
may seem like a childish way to prepare of such serious races, but the game
did help me learn the basics of the course layout and race line".
Enough said, this guy uses video games for learning the tracks.

He raced pretty often on Ten right before his rookie Busch year. And Casey
Atwood, who was not mentioned in article appeared frequently right before
Ten went belly up.
