iRacing gets the job done

Whereas Automobilista 2 provides somewhat of a plug-in and play VR simracing experience, iRacing may require some tweaking to the graphics settings. However, that is not to say it is a bad game for VR simracing. On the contrary, it is arguably a brilliant option for those looking to race online in Virtual Reality.

As standard, the game will load up in the lowest graphical specification possible. It will take some tweaking of the settings to get the game to look just right, but when that work is done, iRacing is a close second to AMS 2 when it comes to VR graphics. Compared to its Brazilian counterpart, iR features much duller, perhaps more true-to-life graphics. The colours certainly don't pop as they do in the previous title.

That being said, it will run very well with most graphics settings turned up meaning players get good detail with a brilliant frame rate. Nothing to write home about, the iRacing graphics certainly don't shout '2023 sirmacing.' But by catering to players with less powerful computers, the game allows VR users to boost the settings.

Furthermore, iRacing's physics seem to work well with VR. Driving is a very natural process, despite losing much of the rear end feeling.
