Touring for example is fun and is ok but it is different so you cant compare it with real track time.
I think 100 € are better spent on the track than in VRC if you want to get faster but if you want to have fun with your own transmitter at home its better than 32 scale.
If you are fast in real RC you are pretty sure fast in VRC but being fast in VRC tells nothing about real RC skills.

For me, it helps everything. Of course I'd rather be on a track, but as stated, I have no track nearby, and then this helps lots. Even in 2wd. I'm decent in "real" RC, got 52 at the worlds, won the national champs, 13th both classes at oOple race. Not brilliant, but decent.
And now I've kept my skills up and running over the winter, because of VRC. Of course it would be better to be on the track practicing, but when you can't this is as good as it gets.
And in terms of costs, it is what you make it. You can be a lite member, get the tracks when they're on offer(During the worlds month december, all the WC tracks was for free), and for Shourt course the only option that could help a tenth or two would be the faster motor that costs 2 euros.
So if you love offroad, and don't have a track, but do have some patience and a decent computer, get VRC. :-P
