We disagree widly, Pendle. In my limited experience, 'sims' don't even get in the same COUNTRY as the real thing, let alone behave similarly.

Perhaps there are some new sims which DO correctly model the effects of (for example) 'semi-lock' braking (but how the driver can feel that 'semi-lock' point through the seat of his pants in a Sim I CANNOT imagine.......) but I have yet to see even a MILITARY spec sim react correctly to a change in seating position. However, changing that position while driving has a MAJOR effect on the handling.

Put crudely, Sims are TOYS.... racing is NOT!
