Ohh that's so sweet that you think that comes anywhere close to the simulators these drivers actually train on. VR forces you to turn your head to look in the mirrors? So does the 180 degree+ displays that high end simulators have.

those simulators dont have full 3D vision, you dont see distances as good as in rl, dont see how sharp a curve is and much more. Thats why they are outdated and actually not as good as VR, every professional driver switched already to VR for sim training (with an special simulator for sure).

 

Here are the pros and cons:

 

That's nowhere close to what I'm talking about. That's not even great for a home setup.  Here's Ferrari's F1 Simulator

That's what the best racing teams in the world train on. Try getting that experience in PSVR. By the way, that's still not nearly as good as the real thing, and the drivers still log hundreds of laps in a race weekend during the practice sessions leading up to qualifying and the grand prix to get a real feel for the car.

Professional drivers are switching to VR headsets for their simulator work? Which ones? It's certainly not drivers on high budget teams like F1, WEC etc. I can assure you of that.
