Not sure if anyone has tried this with in VR, but its pretty decent. I've just done a 10 lap race at one of the Brazilian tracks after a number of wines etc, 1990's F1 cars, music via Tidal over top of game sound in headphones... wow what an experience. I was definitely quicker i think too. I would advise trying it if you haven't already, as its the weekend.
I always have a drink before i drive. Gives me more confidence behind the wheel. Worked great with my driving test - passed first time.
I might try this theory. Just like with the ladies, it'll remove some inhibitions, when approaching the the 'big balls' corners, helping the laptimes. Have a quick Schnapps or something beforehand.
