VR is not a gimmick!

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.

The visual expierence on PSVR will be better. You can still use a VR headset with the same simulator to get a better expierence. If you use such a expensive simulator, you obviously wont use a cheap psvr but something like the StarVR

Here is a video about a driver driving a car with a VR headset in his head. Thats how realistic it is:

 

 

Oh and this: https://www.wareable.com/vr/virtual-reality-formula-1-teams-drivers-fans-5554

So they think it's neat and they're investigating it, but they're still sticking to the screens?

They're not using VR then.

But even if or when they start to use VR, it'll be FAR more advanced than anything you're currently pimping as "realistic".

By the way, that $6 million Ferrari simulator already has a near 360 degree screen, making VR redundant.
