Do you feel that this also applies to the high end racing rigs that people build? My understanding was that these were basically the race car equivalent of flight simulators used to train pilots.

The fundamental limitation is that you can't properly simulate g-forces with a rig that isn't moving around a large track. So it will never be fully immersive. But it's good enough that there is plenty of skills transfer between disciplines.
