For any of those looking, the Bigscreen VR seems pretty promising- I've given a buddy's VR setup a go and it was pretty darn good (at least visually). Now with lighter and smaller goggles though, I think it could start getting pretty nice.

I’ve been addicted since I first started a few years back with a basic G920 setup on a desk. From there it’s spiraled into a crazy sim rig. Still cheaper than tracking a car on the regular though.

Working on getting my rig setup.

I have really enjoyed just sitting here watching video.

For context, I haven't done any sanctioned events but I have done a few of those cone track "racing experiences" (Corvettes). I also race on iracing (simple set-up) as well as the legitimate $10K+ simulators (Place down the road from me).

While the pro simulators are fun, they don't hold a candle to real racing and I actually prefer iRacing over the expensive simulators.

Any simulator is going to have a disconnect but for some reason the Pro ones feel less "real" than iRacing to me. I think it is because you can't recreate the g's you feel when your racing in a simulator, so they compensate with a lot of herky-jerky movement. With the simple iRacing set-up you are just focusing on a few outputs and adjusting your inputs accordingly (IE: Wheel Feedback, Tire Noise and visuals). IMO that is more beneficial to real world skills.

But its still a lot of fun regardless
