Recently BeamNG added VR support. So the other day I dug out my old Logitech racing wheel and gave it a go. Holy shit is it fun. Beam is fun in flat, and it's fun in VR too. https://streamable.com/prvo6l But, I wanna try out racing against people.

So if anyone here races, what do you play? Iracing seems expensive, entirely too serious, and a huge commitment. So I'm worried about going that route. Dirt 2 looks fun, and so does the new WRC.

    Dnow if these count as sim racers but my goto for challenge and intensity is dirt rally VR. And when I want something chill I play gran turismo.

    I did try playing Ride 4 at one point but that game just doesn't make any sense to me. I even got people who ride motorbikes to play and they didn't get it either xD

      Dirt does look like a really good time. I think I'm going to try to play beam tonight with my friends. We used to hang out and do trail drives/rock crawling. I got a one month subscription to iracing since it was on sale, so maybe I'll give it a try later.

      I've never tried a motorcycle racing game. I don't know if I'd like it. I've never really followed MotoGP or anything like that. I did really enjoy the old MX games on ps2. But that was decades ago so I might just be nostalgia blinded.

        That just unlocked a memory i completely forgot about the MX games.
