There was an even where they took the top iRacing sim driver and put him in a real F1 car and he was able to do VERY well in terms of lap times.

There was another even where they took another sim driver and put him in a real drift car, and he was able to drift very well.

Both vids are on youtube. Yes, real world driving has more variables, and yes, the racing drivers had force feedback wheels, but in general, if a person is able to control a car so well as to put the virtual wheel in the right square foot of the virtual track to take a corner optimally, its probably likely that most people could drive very well solely from visual feedback. Sound and IMUs can provide additional correctional information, but the key point still remains, is that whatever software runs has to deduce physics from visual images.

Would you say your examples are moving the sim driver from fewer sensors (an abstraction of driving) to more sensors (the real world)?
