I grew up in the country with dirt roads that turned into sugar sand in a lot of places and drove a 20yo RWD Galaxy. I learned a lot of my car-control skills in "slow motion". Just about anytime I left the house, I had to practice throttle modulation to keep from getting stuck, and slip angle came into play when turning through many intersections while trying not to get stuck. The sugar-sand made for some great training because everything happened so slow that it was easy to learn what was happening and why.
When my wife got back into autocrossing and was spinning the FRS almost every other run, I set her up on Project Cars with an FRS and heavy rain. I was actually surprised at how much it helped. After a Saturday in the "sim", she has spun only once, in the real world, through enough events to kill two sets of tires.
