My first sim race in VR!! | Pimax Crystal Light in iRacing
225La Broca Sim Racing enters the world of #virtualreality #simracing as I get to try out the #pimax Crystal Light VR headset in #iracing for the first time.
VR is tailor made for sim racing, and I've been keen to try it out for years now. I've been fortunate that Pimax reached out and offered to loan me a headset to give it a try. This isn't a full review of that headset, and nor is anything I say or reflect on influenced or shaped by Pimax. It's a fully independent take on the experience.
