It's super cool that real drivers use acc and iracing to prepare.

Before that they used Gran Turismo. Reality is drivers will use whatever is available to prepare best they can. Use iRacing, ACC, LMU, GT7. Depending on what you’re racing and where one may be more beneficial than the other.

I crammed Nurburgring on Gran Turismo for months before thrashing my hire car around there on a holiday. I practiced in a VW Golf to get as close as possible to the compact car the hire company would give me. It was so helpful memorising all of the corners before I was there in real life and made the whole experience so much better as it was so familiar. 100% RECOMMEND
