Am not OP, just want to share my 2 cents on simulators.
Before I owned the BRZ, I couldn't take my previous ride to the track. So I stuck with simulators. Always playing my local track, with my favourite cars. I can safely say that it definitely benefited me at the track when I actually took the BRZ down to the track. It felt surreal yet familiar and surely, the lines carried right over.
Do hit up a simulator with a wheel just for kicks! It's really a good way to familiarize yourself with the track at least
