Years ago, when Juan Pablo Montoya came up in F1 (still a teenager, I believe) he claimed that he practiced driving his entire life by playing racing video games. Those guys have hand/eye coordination like no other sport. đź‘Ť

.....Those guys have hand/eye coordination like no other sport. No doubt the hand/eye coordination is critical, and develped to high level. My understanding is that there is some thought that proprioception can fire off a muscle reaction, for example catch snap oversteer at a hundred and eighty, faster than the brain can process visual info. I think that's what's meant by the old saying, someone drives by the seat of their pants, when they're all strapped in they can feel the car movements. Supposedly, the best simulators can create the feeling, beyond just the video component.

Not that I would even begin to compare myself to real race drivers but when I was young, foolish and in my sports car phase (Alfas, Jags, 240z, Pantera, Siroccos) if I had to sum it up, vision was for seeing where i needed to go (and not go) and my hands and ass were telling me what I needed to do to get there.
