I would save my money.

Dunno about the climb but if im not mistaken it didn't really pass muster after touch was introduced, made for control pad and all that.
Was mostly hyped as a graphical experience for VR in the early launch days.
I consider it replaced by Robo Recall and Lone Echo.

Other suns is also tempting me a little but not enough, sounds like a vr version of FTL honestly, which does sound pretty cool, I might pick it up if it comes on a standalone sale.

The others are mostly stocking stuffers, not worth my money or my time.

As for D1rt.
Not really recommended anymore.
A wheel is even more mandatory for it than a HOTAS is for elite, without one. seriously don't bother.
And if so I have completely forgotten about it after getting project cars 2 which just got a big Rally DLC expansion today. And features racing across a multitude of disciplines.
Ranging from go-karts to GT 1-5, f1/Indy etc etc. As well as Rally cross.
Seriously pcars 2 has over 180 cars in it.
But again for VR use a wheel is a must almost but I think in a pinch pcars2 can deal with a gamepad better than D1rt would.

Just had a session in Pcars2 with the newly introduced 1966 Mustang.
And it was a serious experience, the engine roar, the rattling, the oversteer, the understeer sometimes at the same time.
All the thrills but none of the tire costs ;)

Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

I have not played any VR racing game as yet, but I do love them. I have played all the big names in the past and probably still have the licence for them, but these days I stick to LFS. It is the best racing game by far when it comes to controlling the car with only a mouse. Yes I do have a good FFB wheel and pedals, but most of the time I can't be bothered setting them up. I am one of the unlucky ones who does not have the space to have them permanently set up.

For the price I think LFS is fantastic. Its not excellent in any department, but it ticks all the 'good enough' boxes IMO.
