You realise f1 drivers spend more time driving pretend cars on computer than real ones?

It's the off-season. Not much opportunity to drive the actual race car until March (even if it wasn't getting ripped to bits for a ground-up rebuild).

It's probably been mentioned already Nef, but get yourself a VR headset - not sure how good PSVR is, but there's some decent games about for it.

Totally transforms things for seated racing. Next level stuff.

No good driving games on PSVR.

I was just joshing, I'd have a setup if I had the space

Yeah, that had been on my wish list, but I didn't realise that Project cars 2 didn't support PSVR. PC2 is the only driving game I know of that I can genuinely get something out of that might be useful for the actual racecar (e.g. working out broad set-up directions for new circuits).

I may still get a VR headset if one comes up of eBay fo cheap, just for shits and giggles, but this foray into gaming has been pretty cheap so far (£380 for the PS4, controllers, wheel/pedals, 20 games and the Benq projector), and I know how easy it would be to spend a fortune chasing ever-decreasing improvements (2 days into ownership, I can already see that my wish-list setup would be £1500+).

Most actual racers use iracing and a direct drive wheel. It’s the most authentic sim accessible to the public but you pay for it!

I liked Lotus Challenge or possibly Esprit Challenge, my brother and I used to see how many people we could knock over. Strangely GTA has never appealed though.

I did recently dig my PS2 out and the kids played some sort of tekken v streetfighter type game and loved it, the graphics, especially on a decent sized screen were a bit woeful though.
