VR is awesome in pCars if you have a really good graphics card. VR in racing games is a game changer as you actually feel like you are in the cars. Sure the resolution with the Vive or the Rift VR headsets is not where we would like it to be. But the immersion of feeling like you are in the car trumps the less than ideal resolutions. Example, in VR you can actually look to the apex like you would in the real world and on a hairpin turn this really helps. I even went to the extent of installing a 5 point harness system on my sim rig. Not for safety of course, but because I was noticing without the harness, I was leaning into the turns and in a real world race car with harnesses, there is no leaning. It's all part of the immersion experience I guess.

But with that said, I would invest in a decent wheel + pedals with some sort of brake mod first before I invested in VR and the computer to run VR. To me driving with a console controller is just wrong. But that's just me.
