Visceral versus low-end electronic are dramatically different; my old Dirt Track Racing sim time, with a quality wheel and pedals, was vastly different than smelling the fumes and hot oil, feeling the g-forces, sensing the butt meter working overtime, having the dirt fly in your face, hearing every noise as a potential issue while leading, having someone give you the bump and run while you are doing you best to keep it off the outside wall.
