video game is different than simulation.

Here's what I did, at Le Circuit Mont Tremblant

Racing School :: Corporate Entertainment :: Jim Russell Racing Drivers School :: Racing School and Driving Instruction :: Jim Russell Racing Drivers School

Back when I went, it was Formula Ford

i realize that 'video game' can be derogatory to a serious 'simulation' and i'm a user / fan of both... but i stand by my statement that in either case, a newb is better off getting real seat time *then* using simulations (and even video games like NFSS) to supplement

I completely disagree with you as I am a byproduct of way too much simulation. It didn't turn me into Michael Schumacher, but it sure put me in a better spot than most of the drivers that are on track with me.
