Not when you track a shitbox
But in seriousness, from my experience, what you've mentioned stands true for me. Weight transfers, feeling the car, etc I've learnt on the track through corners. Can't do them on the road unless you're being stupid. That is why I recommended going to Marulan, low speed track with twists, elevation changes and rough surfaces haha. I've never done a 'high speed' track in my GT-R so I my experiences are a bit different to say Pezhead's.
No matter what you choose (I recommend texi even though I haven't done it myself) it will help.
Hell, even playing Gran Turismo 6 will teach you a few things
