Meta Quest headsets. These games can allow people to experience what it feels like to race in death-defying conditions that can include everything from wacky power-ups with karts to combat driving with missiles. Situations like these may not be probable or recommended in real life, but in a VR world, they can be exciting and fun.

The sensations that a person can feel when in a VR space can trick the brain into thinking that they are really there, which brings racing cars, or even boats, to a whole new level as people can feel what it is like to be behind the wheel without all the dangers. Of course, motion sickness is still a possibility, and can even be a bit more accentuated due to the fast speeds of the virtual races. These are some of the best-rated examples of VR racing games currently available for Meta Quest 2 and 3 and cover several types of gameplay.

Beware that there is always a risk of disorientation and falling when playing any game in VR.
