I'm sure I could beat 99% of a random sampling of people at any F1 track in F1 2023 or Asseta Coursa or iRacing.

It's a niche game experience that not a lot of people really practice to get good at it, and of those that do few have spent the money on racing rigs and VR. My son and I race in leagues and do pretty well. I know it's just a video game but I've occasionally gotten better lap times than the professionals.

My son got me into it and built my rig for me (which is extra special for me!) and last weekend for the first time since we started I actually beat him! He came up and I told him I got lucky because he got cut off by another car and lost control and couldn't make up the loss fast enough and he said "no Dad, your really fast!" Hearing that from my son brought me the feels!

I've failed to make Asseta Corsa to run on my VR headset (Quest2). No matter what I do, it runs on the flat screen inside VR. Any tips?

I'll ask my son. I think he uses the same headset as you.
