It's easy to look at racing video games as just a time waster or a hobby. In reality, though, they're often powerful tools for aspiring racers to learn tracks, race craft and how to set up a car in an easily accessible, risk-free environment. We aren't just talking about proper computer-based sims, like <em>iRacing</em>. Console-based racers like <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/forza+motorsport/"><em>Forza Motorsport </em></a>and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/gran+turismo/"><em>Gran Turismo</em></a> provide a test bed for racers of all sorts.<br />
<br />
For Mario Bonfante, Jr., a former motorcycle racer that was involved in a brutal accident that left him in a wheelchair with only limited use of his arms, <em>Forza</em> is a bit more. It allows him to perfect the setup of his personal racecar, a heavily modified E46 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/m3/">BMW M3</a>, complete with hand controls.<br />
