It’s pretty much saying “I like to sit in my chair and pretend to be a racecar driver.”

Would it be better if they’re into rally or F1?

And would it be worse if it was a VR headset or multiple screens?

      Cars are fine as a hobby/recreation. Racing doesn’t cause congestion and it’s a miniscule portion of pollution. That’s not the issue with cars. It’s the sheer necessity of them in daily life when most people would be perfectly happy to be without one if they could still get to work and shop without major hassle.

        There’s also actually electric race cars, even some competition circuits for them, Formula E. They are slightly slower, but have stronger acceleration. Still very fast tho to be clear.

      I’d allow cars for one type of Motorsport only, then I got thinking and rally makes a lot of sense for that because it doesn’t require any further infrastructure. You just drive on the same roads everyone uses everyday and a bunch of small towns get to shut down once a year to watch the rally
