Following a discussion with Gordon, it appears that this might be of interest to a few of us.
The better PC driving simulators are excellent to learn/practice the lines of new/complicated
race tracks.
Hardware requirements: obviously a PC with a good graphics card. Imperative: a steering
wheel with force feedback and pedals (a good one is the Logitech Momo).

My favourite games:
Overall:
Grand Prix Legends: http://gplea.racesimcentral.com/
also, go there http://trackdb.d2g.com/ to see what you are missing!
For Spa: GTR Press demo (free for all)
http://www.bhmotorsports.com/GTR/downloads/2972
For the Nurburging:
1. Download Netkar (again, it is free): http://www.nkzone.com/
2. Download other tracks and install them (on nkzone, donington is particularly good. They even have Knockhill in
preparation!)
3. do a google search on "Netkar nurburgring" to find a site to download this track (at the time of
writing the site I had in mind was down).
For a mine of information on driving simulators

BTW, many of these games allow on-line racing...
