LFS really does help your driving?

Well, the text says "My first time drifting ever", not "my first driving ever". So he had some actual driving experience after all. I can follow so far that LFS nicely shows "what happens if I do that". So it can indeed help understanding driving physics. However, it also allows intense driving manoeuvres that harm the mechanics of the car, manoeuvres you wouldn't do if you have to pay for it. And it can't simulate G forces to the player. You sit in your comfy desk chair pressing the brake not feeling a thing, but try that with an actual car. You will suddenly become aware of what G forces actually are.
