Nice little article over on Jalopnik:

It's three in the morning and you are still glued to your TV screen with your steering wheel on your lap and headphones firmly attached to your ears. Most likely there is a lukewarm beer to your left that you have neglected in your ambition to beat that Finnish sim-racing maestro named Markku.

When your wife wakes up for her nightly bathroom break she scowls at you and calls you "childish" and "immature." But you don't care. After all, you are perfecting your skills to one day become the next Kimi Raikkonen — right?

As a professional driver and a frequent video gamer I can attest that, yes, video games can absolutely make you faster, but only if you pick the right game...

Thx for sharing! Great article!

Thats a great little article.. there is also a link there to another of his about the difference between a "normal" driver, taking no more risk than necessary and a fast driver who takes calculated risk based on talent and belief.. great stuff.
