Maybe sims games are not yet 100% real in terms of physics, but they are very similar about how you need to think, racing is to know when you can make a move to pass the car in front of you, it's about be patience, because one mistake in real life or in a sim game and the race is lost, if you want to win you need to be smart.
There is my racing seat in the video. Not the one she's racing in though but the one they are sitting in during the interview. Does quite a good job as a combined living room chair / racing seat actually.
