I don't use sims because I don't personally have the budget for one, nor have regular access to them.

Sims absolutely work. They can teach you proper (and sometimes improper) habits, and can teach you the tracks. Pilots and Astronauts use sims; why shouldn't drivers?

I've coached some GT Academy drivers, and they learn spectacularly quickly, and they effectively have a lot of "sim" time. One of the guys had never actually set foot on track before my first day with him; he was 100% GT learned.
