Exactly. It could be that this guy was just born to be a real racing driver but never realised until too late, or just didn't want that career. And that a good racing driver is likely to be a good simulation player.

Being born with magic special powers isn’t high on the list of explanations I’d reach for.

I guess I worded it weirdly, but isn't that the same as just having an innate talent?

Or maybe the simpler example is that simulations do indeed provide some pretty good experience for at least some parts of the real thing, lol.
