I’m still eagerly awaiting delivery of my Oculus Rift DK2, and while I can’t wait to test the limits of the hardware, there are some gamers and developers out there with a bigger bank balance than myself, who can afford even more gadgets and hardware to play around with.
Equipped with a high-end racing wheel, dash switches and H-shift gear changer, four large LG monitors which the user likely owned before they had an Oculus Rift, a copy of Live For Speed and most importantly a hydraulic racing simulator seat… this guy takes his virtual racing pretty seriously, I’m actually certain it would be cheaper to buy a cheeky track day car and get out on a real race track on the weekend, but who the hell cares, this is an awesome setup!
Check out the video below and let us know what you think. IF this doesn’t get you excited for Oculus Rift then nothing well, although a moderate size lottery win may be required to enjoy it on the same level as this guy.

An awesome setup. I’m sure when I raced club races competitively back in the 80’s a season didn’t cost as much as this setup, and that was with sponsorship.
