I did a race at one of the oval tracks the other day, and some guy in the chat was using the Rift. He talked about it quite a bit during the race. Said that he was much better able to judge how close he was to the other cars since it was 3D. He also said it was his first time racing with it and the first race where he didn't make any mistakes. He was very enthusiastic about it.
The best part about it though was how the other drivers had no idea what he was talking about. I wish I could have recorded the audio, but here's what was said:
"What's an Oculus Rift?"
"It's like virtual reality."
"Oh, you have multiple monitors then."
"No no, it's like I can see everywhere."
"Oooh, you have one of those 360 degree screens, neat."
"No, it's not that at all. It's like... it's like I can reach out and touch the wheel."
"Uhh..."
"It's a screen that's strapped to your head and when you move your head it moves the images at the same time."
"Oh, ok yeah, one of those virtual reality things."
