Ended up watching some of the F1 guys play videogames and thought it was kinda funny but pretty stupid. Then I kept watching it... and became a little obsessed. Now it's turned into my time pit (outside of work hours) through a mixture of watching better drivers to learn from them, optimizing my rig and recording setup to allow me to be fully immersed in VR while still capturing video with all sorts of interesting overlays, and trying to mitigate a huge temptation to spend a lot more money on making my setup more elaborate.
