Sometimes simulators don’t have the same feel you have IRL. You can shift your body to get a slightly different perspective in the real world, while the simulation’s perspective is often fixed.

It’s actually what I really like about the Mini Z and the Mini 96 track at home. It is a very narrow lane width, less than 24” wide with the default layout pieces. It really forces you to be precise. I found it really helps as you go to larger scales where it feels like you have a huge amount of room on the track relatively.
