One of the most debated topics in the sim racing community - VR vs. monitors. This video is an insightful take from someone at the top level of iRacing and a professional racing instructor. Whether you’re a casual player or a seasoned sim racer, this video is well worth watching for its expert insights.
As a passionate sim racer myself, I’ve always leaned towards VR, and this video reinforces my belief that for most sim racers, VR offers an unbeatable experience. Not only is it more immersive, but it’s also a more affordable way to truly feel like you’re in the driver’s seat.
While high-end monitor setups can offer precision and realism, the sense of presence you get with VR is hard to match. When you're in a virtual cockpit, surrounded by the track and the environment, the experience becomes so much more engaging. You can look into corners, feel the proximity of other cars, and react intuitively, almost as if you're on the track for real.
If you’re thinking about which setup to invest in, this video might provide you with expert advice, practical comparisons, and help you decide what’s best for you based on your goals, budget, and how you want to enjoy sim racing.
