for what it's worth, I know you were a chess player, and I think that chess players (along with other types of professional gamers) have a lot of the skills needed to compete at the higher levels of racing. That combination of deep thinking, mental ability and conditioning, and all that seems pretty rare. So whether it be a competitive chess, starcraft, street fighter, or simulation racecar player/driver, I think they would have a better chance of breaking into competitive racing than say, a world class marathon runner, who doesn't happen to have those skills.
Note: that doesn't make racing an easy physical activity. But it's easy enough to put someone on a treadmill and hit some weights and all that than it is to train the mental stuff. just my opinion of course.
