    Anyone use VR for racing?

    I haven't looked much into it but it seems to be the next big thing for sim racing especially in the states atm.

    Might take a while to break through over here but I think it can take sims to the next level.

    It's quite expensive atm but hopefully as prices come down it will get more popular.

    Thoughts?

    I'm holding off for now, saving up a bit of cash. But I'll definitely getting one, I think it will make sim racing a lot more immersive.

    The main concern for me at the moment is the graphics card. I think I'll go for the rift as it's all I'd need for sim racing. But it seems like a bad time to buy a graphics card. The required card is expensive now and I'm expecting new cards from both Nvidia and AMD which will drop the price of the current batch, which will mean I'll have thrown away whatever the price difference is. I also wouldn't feel great about buying a 980 after a price reduction either as it's basically the bare minimum and might get left behind pretty quickly.
