 What's up everybody, I'm Evaribot, we're here on R Factor 2 looking at an Abarth 695 here in R Factor 2 to see Does VR make you faster? That question we're gonna take to the test today and answer that. Does VR racing make you faster? Make sure you follow me on Instagram and Twitter, I'll just follow in the description box below Let's get to it So the reason I asked this question does VR actually make you faster because it gives you a different perspective when you're racing in VR Versus when you're looking at a monitor, so we're gonna put this to the test We're going to Atlanta Motorsports Park in a Fiat and we're gonna run some hot laps on the monitor Then we're gonna switch over to the Oculus Rift S and See if the times are faster or slower and give you my perspective of how it differs when you're looking So the Abarth not sure what we can do. We got slicks. We're just gonna leave it how it sets All right, so we're gonna give this a shot here Factory settings in the Fiat Abarth here at Atlanta Motorsports Park And we're going then get in the Oculus Rift S and see if we can track faster or slower in VR And I will give you guys to take what I feel is a little bit different in feels of how you see What you see everything like that when you're going through the race track Now I know this track has a lot of elevation changes and a lot of things like that Slow down there and as you can see it's really hard to know judge exactly where you're going on the track when you're using a monitor because well It doesn't rotate I mean if you have triple screen you can see a little bit a little bit more All these brakes mark a bit sluggish So we definitely need the world brakes and the tires So that happened So this has been a question that's been on my mind recently a lot and a few of my friends as well We're trying to find out is VR Squirrely that That was not happy Back wheels picked up off the ground front-wheel drive race car problems. So we like I said, we've been wondering If I'm actually faster in the R or not because I did do some racing in the R And it seemed to be faster, but here we're gonna take the test and I cannot see Where I'm going early on the road. I kind of know the track races track a little bit, but I have no idea where I'm going on some of these turns because the elevation changes and everything like that and makes it Slightly complicated Dashboards, okay, we got dashboard in the car So we're gonna go for a hot lap now and see what we can hot lap time nearly slows to that turn But it is a very tight hairpin So we're gonna try to make the best out of this lap as possible trying to Stay on somewhat of a decent race line, but I can see not being able to see how long this turns going Definitely difficult and I mean a lot of sim racers probably know the track that you run So you kind of know where you got to put the car for certain turns and stuff like that, but first learning the track it's It could be hard because like I can't really see where that is right there Now I know where it is because I've driven the track and you kind of see it, but if you want to get that perfect racing line It is a little difficult to see on this track because like right here I can't really see where I'm going until a little bit after I know the track so I was able to make the turn But it's definitely a little bit Different to say the least and I'm not like pedaling it by any means or Like stacking, you know the deck from the arts and regular. I'm trying to put down the fastest time I can based on what I can see here Without VR and then we'll go into VR and see We're gonna run one more lap Basically to laugh and see what our fastest time is and we'll reset it in the oculus and see What we can do different and how it looks different in VR Slowly starting to feel the track and the car. Oh, I say that we go all off course Kind of saved it a little bit Love it all over the place So if you guys are not subscribed to the channel, I would appreciate it sport tap a subscribe button You want to support my channel and well sim racing and sim drifting everything on my channel? Like I do subscribe tap that like button. That's all I ask You know show your support come back watch the video I would appreciate all of that comment down in the comment section because it definitely would you know Get you interacting with some of the other subscribers and myself So with that being said This is our second hot lap in this car and across the line with I am not sure what we're gonna hit escape a 133 133 048 was our time Not in the rift s so now let's switch it up into the rift s and see what we can do So I'll catch you guys once we get back in the right All right, so we are in the rift s now and as you can see everything is a little bit different We can actually look around the car and everything like that kind of in my own body, but we're gonna go Rip this fiat here on Atlanta Motorsports Park In is he rift s as you can see already the view is much wider and as you can see I can see more of the car I can see More of the stuff that's going on So let's go for a run or two here And I'm kind of already looking like Out my side windows So we did run a 133 outside of VR So now we're gonna see what we can run in VR and already the difference as you can see I'm already looking past Where I want to go and kind of looking where I want to go rather than Where the game is actually making me look so Already being able to look apex and kind of look Where I need to point is a huge advantage for sure So that in itself is a big deal And you have more of perspective because you can kind of see more than on a single screen if you had three screens Like I said, you could see more perspective But this is giving me I can look down look up towards the track if I want and I can look over I can kind of look up kind of see where I'm going because I can move my head around like it wouldn't a real car I can look down the track So all of that is a different perspective than driving on a single monitor But the real question is is that perspective when it comes to driving on the track being able to see turns a little bit better Being able to see, you know, where you're going your throttle line points are off points Does it make you faster and that's what we're gonna find out So we're going for our first flying lap here hard on the brakes Little bit too hard on the brakes miss my braking zone in a little bit, but we managed to come out of that somewhat okay Come in here clip that apex Go this way and as you can see I'm already looking at the side window kind of looking where I want to go Kind of looking past where I'm actually at because I found when I'm racing if I'm looking ahead rather than exactly where I'm in my Reactions are gonna be faster and You know, that's just because you can see what's coming up in front of you rather than Reacting to what it is now and I that's something, you know When I used to do autocross and all that stuff like that looking at a couple cones ahead of you Makes a huge difference because you got to look where you want to go not where you're currently at in order to be faster So this will kind of be a big test of Is this faster in this car? It feels more fun being in the rift and being able to just look around in a racing aspect with other cars on the track It's definitely a big help Because you can look around use your actual mirrors and it reacts like you would be in the actual cockpit And the graphic quality is not that bad at all I'm not noticing any tearing any issues. So one lap down the tubes. We're gonna Break a little bit sooner than last time Come in there look kind of out past the turn looking where I want to go So you can see the rift does have an advantage. I did miss shift there does have an advantage with Where you can look ahead? So that's the biggest Take away. I'm getting so far and why I would think you could actually be faster in Oculus than you can three screens or single screens now Whether that is true or not or somebody who gets really used to Single screen or three screens, and then they can probably just be as fast But for me personally being able to see the corners being able to see Where I want to be is a huge game changer for me when it comes to racing And being able to control the car because right there we got a little squirrely Picking up the back tires probably when we're breaking In this up for us, I am not sure if this lab's gonna be faster because I'm a Think of pushing the car past its limits. We will definitely find out Once we finish this lap off So make sure you guys follow me on all social media all that's found in the description box below Hope you guys enjoyed this video a little bit of take a little bit different looking at comparing screen driving to VR driving Let's find out exactly what our time is going to be as soon as we cross the line And across the line What does the tail of the tape say a one thirty seven five five so Two and a half seconds faster in VR Whether that was because I got more comfortable with the track or because I could see where I was going But I'm two and a half seconds faster. So it does beg the question. Are you faster in VR? I Proved that I was definitely a little bit faster in VR. My dog over here says I think you were too So that'll do it here for today's episode make sure you guys follow me in the scrum Twitter And as always I thank you guys for watching. I'm evil rabbit and this is Kai and we'll see you guys on the track
