I don't think I can relate very much the
feel of driving a real car to any sim I've tried but when I went to Oulton Park this year for the first time I immediately felt at home on the circuit and lapped everyone else (all Caterhams, mostly experienced track drivers) in the first session

As they learned the track they got quicker but even at the end of the day I was still quickest, along with a race R300 which was there to practice (mine is a road car, I was touring Scotland in it a couple of weeks later)
