Not laughable at all. Simulation is incredibly useful and when I was training for my pilot's license I used it quite a lot.

F1 teams use it too.

I don't have a gaming system so don't have access to such tools for riding. I do use visualization a lot... running laps in my head... and watch a lot of track video. The latter is a great resource that we didn't really have until YouTube.

Palmer has some great narrated on-board from Ken Condon and Paul Duval. You can learn a ton from that stuff.
