The more time at the sticks the better (if it's spent driving accurately and not just blasting about in open space). Even though it's not a precise simulation of the surface your running on it will all help and can also help improve your adaptability too.

Setting up some cones to basically give a rough circuit and points to aim at will help your driving a lot. Building chicanes which are only the width of the car between points is good as then if you get the line right you should be fit to go straight through instead of driving through. Try driving it standing in different locations too so you get a more wider range of corner types.

I have to admit I dont do any running now outside of actual racing but I used to do quite a lot. I quite often get running 2~4 times a week now so I get my fill at race meets!
