@Rusty @slashdot hard agree. I’ve been in the VR space since the Rift DK1. I’ve tried watching movies on the Rift, Vive, Index, and now the Bigscreen Beyond. It’s just not a great experience. There’s novelty for sure, but it wears off really quickly.

Sitting in front of a 55” or larger TV is a better overall experience any day.

@bazkie as weird as it sounds… just focus on seeing the checkers. Don’t even think about the other cars. Don’t practice being quicker; that will come with time, naturally. Focus on avoiding wrecks and seeing the checkers in every race. When that strategy is used, you will gain positions throughout the race, and you will eventually be in a higher split where this random crashing is less common.

I have to remind myself of that even in the Vintage IMSA series sometimes.

@bazkie stupid question from me… but are you using a wheel and pedals?

Mazda races are all chaos until you get into the split you belong in; most of us found it to be a struggle at first.

@bazkie agreed. The Mazda isn’t one of my favorite cars. I much prefer the GR86 as I can tell what the car is doing, the feedback is just a bit better.

The #1 strategy for surviving rookie Mazda races is to allow the other cars to crash and just keep your distance and drive safely. Don’t race, just practice clean laps with the other cars around you; close enough to see, but keep your distance. If they are faster they will leave you. If you are faster they will likely crash anyway.

@bazkie investopedia has a simulator where you can use fake money on the real market to practice!
