GT7 & PSVR2

Some cars that I used to drive often because they were "cool, with character" annoy me in VR. For example, the Viper Gr. 3, because the cockpit is so cramped and the driver holds the steering wheel close to his face.
On the other hand, other cars that I wouldn't even look at before bring a lot of joy and make me want to come back to them. For example, the VW Beetle Gr. 3.

Someone said, that you can adjust your PSVR2 by sitting in a lower position by laying more horizontal in your seat. Then when you drive, you sit upright in your chair. This may help for a higher sight. I haven't tried it out.

As above, I tend to lean forward and slightly down (I'm 6ft / 182cm) to get the wheel more where I have it in an actual car, although it's not needed with every vehicle. It's a bit of a stupid requirement, but it is what it is 
Also, the offset pedals seating position is very common with older Italian cars, and quite a few European cars (French / Italian) often have a 'long arms, short legs' position, like it's designed for an ape!
Another famed for having to drive it looking over your shoulder is the Lancia Stratos, I haven't tried it in VR yet but assume that's also pretty offset? Agreed though that the F40 was very noticeable with the little stick legs off to one side!

Im still waiting for my VR lenses from Reloptix here in the US. I pre-ordered them since late February and still haven't gotten them. Starting to get impatient. I already had my PSVR2 replaced due to scratches from my eyeglasses. Im scared to use it now without lenses...hope they ship soon.

Been playing a fair bit of Race B at Suzuka. I love the dynamic weather in VR. Although it doesn't rain in Race B, I love how the track gets darker at different times and different places depending on the cloud cover. When the sun comes back through again, your mind is tricked into thinking you're getting warmer as you see the light on you and your car. It's an unbelievable experience and can sink hours at a time without any issues. That, plus a decent competitive and close race, and you can't help by saying "just one more go".

I have to do the repositioning trick quite often because on some cars the shift lights get hidden behind the steering wheel.
Examples are the GT3 and GT4 Ferraris and the BMW M6 GT3.
Kind of stressful on each start of the race to remember not only to keep looking straight forward but also crouch in your seat or make a goose-neck.
At least you do not really loose time if you do the Pause-Continue-trick to recenter you view on the sprint to the first corner.

I feel like I have to do it in every car. I´m generally sitting too low and way too far forward.
It might be because PD are using an average sized Japanese male as reference and I´m quite a bit taller IRL. My VR legs also look like children's legs. Skinny and tiny.
The overall scale feels right though.
I really wish we could just set a default position for every car ourselves.

No not at all. I can understand that it would have come across a little weird.
Yeah the DoF setups are about $5,000 when its all said and done unfortunately.
I do have a PC that I have VR on which I love, right back from the days of the DK1 rift and all its screen doory goodness! As it turns out, my wallet did get $900 lighter on the weekend after reading all the posts about GT7 in VR. I just had to try it out.
Damn. Damn. Damn. DAMN! I think I have driven about 2,000km in the last 4 days. Doing that 3 lap race on the Nurburgring endurance/sprint track with all of my GR.3 cars is amazing.

After at least 10 sessions I have now come to the point of making multiple races each session for 2 -3 hours (with some breaks in between). But I have to admit I am still not comfortable and I might be the slowest ever in getting my VR legs...
When I try new tracks with weird elevations I still getting that funny feeling of dropping. In the end of a session I have that small dizziness for half an hour or so. I guess that this will go away eventually but I didn't expect I would be that slow, my kids adopted instantly and they are now making fun of their old man xD
I have noticed when I adjust the headset that there is a very very tight spot where everything is super clear and there is no chromatic abberation, but it is so small that I never manage to stay with it as it's only a glimpse and than you lose it no matter how close you try to replicate the position you found it. I still manage to keep it clear but not without color aberration seen on the letters. Does anyone else have this issue or found a way to overcome this?

The sweetspot is pretty tiny and it seems to be even smaller when you wear glasses. I have an easier time staying in the sweetspot with contacts or my VR-Optician prescription lenses.
Generally I´d say the headset is supposed to sit higher on your forehead than you´d think and the strap is supposed to be lower on the back of your head than you´d think.

I am definitely much quicker and more stable with VR! I also can correct mistakes easier and sometimes before they occur!

Quicker! I don't even try, it comes naturally.

I can safely say that this PSVR2 Headstrap works wonders regarding comfort. Not just for my nose but my whole head. It took like 3 weeks to get here from China, but its well worth it 👍

Slower at the moment, but more consistent. And I'm becoming faster already. I think I see the potential to become faster than I was before.

I got an IR light to aid tracking but unfortunately it didn't make any improvements. After losing tracking 3 times in Daily Race B yesterday and going from 2nd to last because I spun when it resumed on 130r, I'm sending this one back for a repair which they said should be a straight replacement.
Hopefully my 3rd headset works better.

Are you sure its the headsets?
If you using the same place to play and your having the same problems..., did you consider to change the place/lights and so on instead of replacing the headset...
Mine only lost track once and was cause my wife turned the light off at night.
Dont use lights/leds in front of the headset or very reflective areas/windows in front of the headset.
Try to play in a small area like a corner of the room and with neutral wall colour, normal lights behind you and see how it goes.
