Pawel,
I can't really tell you if VR made me faster, I only drove about two months with a monitor before I bought the Vive. But I'm pretty sure it gives me a better perception of distances in general and a better sense of my position relative to another car, which makes close racing much less of a gamble. As for the "fun" part of it, the immersion is fantastic and, contrary to Russel, I would never give it up, despite the lower resolution. I'm not driving right now, and I miss it, but I know that come September, as every time I've had a break like that, I'll put the headset on, leave the pit and go "Oh yeah baby !".
