Oculus Quest 2 - Racing in VR is a thrill! - ZIMRACING October 2020
If you haven't tried racing in VR, you really need to. It's a feckin' blast and possible with Oculus Link! Virtual Desktop was my preferred option but didn't work for me at this time.
So, you wanna race too? Then, join us! (details below)
We race on the 1st Sunday every month from 8pm UK time / 3pm EST. VR and non-VR drivers are welcome! Any skill level; new players too. You'll need the base game of Assetto Corsa (original) and to download Track Packs 1 & 2 (~9 GB) to be ready to play. Both are available here:

I used Oculus Link on a USB 3.0 connection via a £4.50 GBP adapter to the PC leveraging the Oculus Quest 1 charging cable (USB-C to USB-C). Note: I have no experience of the official Oculus Link cable at this time.
Here's the adapter (which I bought from Amazon UK):

My PC specs (used to both play and stream simultaneously) are:
- Assetto Corsa and Content Manager
- Installed and running on an SSD
- Intel i5-4790K
- GeForce NVIDIA GTX 1080
Special note: The October session was held 2 weeks later than normal due to the release of Star Wars: Squadrons. Next session on November 1st at 8pm UK / 3pm EST for those joining! No sign up needed, just turn up on or off Discord (both welcome!).
