I concur, I learned how to drift in the sim and it saved me a lot of beginner crashes when I tried doing it in real life. I also learned how to fly racing drones this way.

Just make sure you don't play Forza or something... Stick to well known simulators like Assetto Corsa (best for drifting/other driving besides circuit racing) or others like iRacing etc..
