I suspect the BBC article has touched on the real reason this has come up now.

I doubt it was that much in the grand scheme of things. The devs did a Reddit Ask Me Anything and there were only 2 of them on the VR expansion, a designer and a coder. A case of quality over quantity I reckon!

Still loving this in VR. It's as if someone took what Powerdrome on the Amiga looked like in my head and made it reality! Is it me, or is the audio left/right channels reversed on the main menu. When the ships pass you on either side, the sound comes from the opposite ear.

I can recommend the Rally Cross events in Dirt Rally VR. I hated them before but the sense of being in a race with cars all around you is great in VR.

I picked it up in the last sale and quite enjoyed it. The aiming is very accurate for the most part with the move controllers and it somehow manages to rekindle the urge to beat hight scores. It's not very long but the scores aspect gives it replay value - well worth a few quid.

Wipeout Omga collection is currently £13.99 at Argos for those who have just been convinced to buy it by this thread (like me)

I feel this game needs some more love.. so.. bump! I can recommend the new Porsche DLC which includes a bunch of classic cars along with the 959 and Carrera GT as well as the Porsche test track. Some of the 70's cars are mental, with fantastic engine sounds. Switching between this and GT Sport makes GT feel very sterile sometimes. The new Opposite Lock assist makes it very playable with the pad tilt steering method now as well.

I impulse bought it with the Aim Controller for £90 and don't regret it for a second.

Having previously moaned about the shallowness of the VR mode in this, I’ve got to give credit where it’s due. It really captures the sense of driving round the Nurburgring in a way that non VR can’t. It’s the elevation changes. Some parts are knackering to walk up as they’re so steep and this nails it.

"60% of the time, this works... every time" Apart from today when I got a Suzuki swift, and the Sambabus. Ah well.

As someone who really struggles with using the left thumbstick to steer so only really enjoy driving games using my G29 wheel - I gotta say, the six axis tilt control method works really well with this game. I've gold'ed all the test thingies with it, and done all the other challenges, including the final 4 lapper around the 'ring. Feels weird at first but once it clicks it gives a lot more control, for me at least, than the stick. I've spent hours trying to get the PCars2 implementation to feel the same, but it's like cracking a safe with the millions of user tweakable options and I've not found the right combo yet. Gran Truismo's works out of the box. (Which is a good thing, as it has no settings at all!) Worth a go if you're using a pad.

Can't answer the BOP question I'm afraid, I find the whole tuning stuff so confusing compared with all the previous Gran Turismos. (For example, how do you know if a potential upgrade changes the class of your car before you buy it?) I wouldn't spend anything on expensive cars just yet. Just play it enough to get a load of Daily Workout cars. I've got loads of of top level cars by doing that, including a LeFerrari. I've only bought cars that I needed for the campaign races.

I’m in the same boat. I found the videos by ImperialJedi linked to a page or two back to be very helpful. It’s a bit overwhelming at first but it unlocks stuff as your population grows so it does a good job of easing you in over time.

Yeah, does that for me too. Only game that does now. Holding Options down resets it for a bit but then it starts to wander again. "Luckily" the VR mode in GT is pretty pointless so it's no great loss.
