If you watched the Bottom Split Racing series on Stadium Scene TV last week, you noticed D.J. was there, but he did not race. Turns out his first iRacing VR race using the Meta Quest 3S turned out to be a failure, not because the VR headset couldn’t handle iRacing, but it appears to be a major flaw with the Meta VR link software (cable between the headset and the gaming pc). Read on to learn more.
D.J.’s iRacing VR Fail, IndyCar Toronto and NASCAR Dover Recaps | Garage Talk
If you watched the Bottom Split Racing Series on @Stadiumscene on Monday night you noticed D.J. was logged in, but did not grid or race. He ran into technical troubles with the Meta Quest 3S and trying to race in VR.
In this week’s Garage Talk he kicks off the show talking about the major software bug that some users are struggling with in the Meta Quest 3 and 3S and why until that gets fixed, it’s generally not a viable solution for most people. That and the fact you need a Computer Science degree to configure it.
In part two of the show, Erik and D.J. recap the IndyCar race at Toronto including Team Penske having a bad day (again), Santino Ferucci missing the race after a crash during warm up, and Dale Coyne’s driver Rinus VeeKay and also Kyffin Simpson on the podium!
We move on and recap Denny Hamlin’s win at Dover and the ongoing charter lawsuit between NASCAR and 23XI and Front Row Motorsports. Finally, we close out with a preview of this weekend’s race at the Brickyard. No matter what happens in the mid-season challenge, Ty Dillon is the big winner regardless. We discuss.

Recent Race Results
Race: iRacing Daytona 24
Results: Erik Richardson, Hunter Hughes, Ian Miller, and Tyler Vickery ran in the GTP/Hypercar class for the first time in the Ferrari 499P. The real stars of the show was the rain and the new dynamic track debris system that created chaos all over the track. Numerous accidents led to a P9 in class (of 21) and P33 overall (of 58). We look to bounce back stronger at Sebring in March.
