Since I bought my Logitech Driving Force GT, I've been running a bit faster than normal with it in iRacing, GT6, Live for Speed, and Assetto Corsa. I don't think I can race with a controller ever again because it feels so much different, in a good way.
To answer your question, yes, but it will take a while to get used to racing with a wheel. Once you have it down, you'll be faster. There's a reason iRacing members use wheels and not controllers.
