DiRT Rally 2.0 VR with Pimax Crystal - my first ever attempt to play a realistic rally game in my life! It's hard to get used to everything since it's so different from all the arcade racing games I've played before, but it's heaps of fun!
Pimax Crystal provides cleanest VR visuals and an ideal car cockpit feeling of presence.
Gyro steering adds a lot to the VR realism of it, since you actually "hold a steering wheel" in your hand.
Of course, a proper racing sim rig would be better, but to all of you who wants to try rally simming for the first time in VR - I totally recommend to try gamepad/controller gyro steering as a cheaper alternative.

In my case, Flydigi Vader 2 Pro controller has somewhat limited gyro functionality, so I couldn't use "absolute" gyro values to convert them 1:1 to virtual steering wheel position (maybe PS4 or PS5 controller would be a better choice here). But, with ReWASD, VJoy, and Mouse Steering v 1.7.2. I was able to convert Gamepad Gyro to Mouse cursor position to Virtual Steering Wheel position to be used in Dirt Rally 2.0.
Speaking of tips & tricks for rally first-timers like me:
feather your throtle & breaks, dont just 0%-100% (analogue input is prefferable);
use breaks more often. Remember, breaking before the turn shifts your weight to the front of the car, giving you more control and making it easier to turn.
use gyro steering for precision (or a racing wheel if you have one).
don't compete with others, find joy in competing with yourself and getting better over time.
