There isn’t many GOOD racing games on Quest 3, but my gosh, RaceClub is one. It’s only in Early Access but it brings the F1 experience to Meta Quest 3 and they do a bloody good job at it. Elsewhere, Dan and Samson brainstorm their VR game wishes, Samson plays Rumble and Dan get’s his ass handed to him in Iron Rebellion.
