I think it’s neat how you have your cars displayed. Not how i would have done it personally, but that’s interesting. How are they staying attached to the board you mounted? Cool setup as well. Which racing games do you play?

How are ya liking the VR only setup? I did that for a bit (similar setup with my rig next to my desk) and reverted back to a dedicated ultrawide. Once the honeymoon novelty period of VR went away I eventually just stopped using it when sim racing altogether.
VR is immersive as hell with sim racing, the tactile feedback you get from the controls is amazing, but man the setup and comfort with current VR just wasn’t there from my experience. Makes it really hard to just ‘hop on’ and run a few hotlaps, as by the time I got everything working I was annoyed and uncomfortable…
I’m hopeful newer lighter/smaller headsets with way better compatibility come out, as what I experienced really was incredible… when it worked. Not sure what headset you have there, but I had a Quest 2 and it was a janky nightmare to get working, but I did kit it out with a halo strap and clip on headphones to make things better. When the stars aligned holy cow was it excellent. Especially when they updated the refresh rates later on.
I hear the Valve Index is waaaay easier to run and obviously plays nicely with steam, but it’s so much older and still sooo expensive. I saw some proof of concept ultralight VR headsets that seem promising, but I dunno. I feel like we’re a few more years from this being viable for casual use.
I’m excited though! It kinda feels like the N64 era of 3D gaming… we’re still in the awkward puberty phase of VR gaming…
