Interestingly, it's also a glimpse of the past; it's essentially *identical* to the VR experience we've been having for years in GT Sport on the PSVR1. There are no design changes, for example, but rather the hardware limitations they had to design *around* the PS4 are no longer there. So now, for example, you can have liveries on your car when you race in VR. You also still can't see things like FL & pit/track locations of other cars just like in GT Sport. Same exact design, just upgraded hardware is all (think DVD to Blu-Ray).

To be fair, it's nearly identical to the GT Sport VR experience only without the hardware limitations so you can have a full race & race with liveries; all the other design choices, for example, are inherently identical outright & that may be the reason to drop it a point.
