Sim Racing application

Hello,
first of all sorry for my bad and poor english.
I am interested in the application of Oculus Rift within simracing. The Oculus Rift is a good alternative to the triple screen, increasing the immersion in the game, in addition to being a more economical and less bulky solution.
However, while, for an arcade game, the steering wheel or a simple joypad is sufficient to control the car; for a simulator, it is necessary to interact with different devices (keyboard, steering wheel, display or even a reproduced dashboard).
This is impossible if you can't physically see the device with which you interact.
I was wondering if this issue has been considered, and if there is a solution.

Thanks
Pepstain

    Hi


    I am using the Oculus Rift VR glasses and a Logitech GT Driving Force controller. I am searching for a game that combines this hardware with the Oculus SDK. So far I have been unsuccessful in finding such a game.

    Can anyone help me out?? A link to the game would be really helpful.

    Thanks

    www.iracing.com has recently implemented native support for the Oculus rift.

    Hi

    I have tried to download iRacing but could not find the link. Also, will this game work with the Logitech GT Driving Force, or is there any other game that will support this hardware.

    Thanks

    I think its just iracing.com and you sign up .. during the sign up you can download the software ... a bit like hawken and others do these days.. btw .. I tried the test drive on iracing .. cool :-) I probably need the steering wheel and pedals to have a good time though on it.
