As someone who has both interest in VR and racing sims (and other sims), and tried VR and loved it, I am genuinely NOT INTERESTED in owning a headset for the obvious health reasons that come with using one.

There is no way this ever can be close to safe for your health than, say, not using it.

I'm really curious what you consider to be the obvious health reasons - it's far from obvious for me.

Me, too.

When I was playing standalone VR (Quest 2/3), I was pretty much always sore from moving around while playing. I moved to PCVR a few years ago, and I still move significantly more just from twisting around to look behind me (combat flight sims).

I can’t see any way that it’s not at least better than a monitor.
