Pros
Pro Well-balanced sim-cadey handling
Handling a car in Autosport is both streamlined and forgiving enough to make it approachable, yet complicated enough to give players a bit of a challenge. The game also avoids the issue GRID 2 had of having the same one-size-fits-all steering.
Pro Detailed damage model
In addition to traditional bumps, hits and crashes that will damage the car and make it more difficult to drive in way that depends on the damaged part, there's also wear and tear to worry about. For example, over-revving and shifting early will wear the gearbox quicker and late breaking will damage the brakes.
Pro Has a good variety of game types
Autosport has 5 game types - Touring, Endurance, Open Wheel, Tuner, and Street with additional game modes available through DLC. Each type has a different handling model and different cars.
Pro No VR sickness
Since the player and the character are stationary with the vehicle creating a frame of reference, much of the issues with motion sickness are avoided.
Pro Very fun
Pro Control is super intuitive
Being that the users view is controllable with their head, which frees up both hands to control the dual wielded pistols makes for a very intuitive and natural way to play a first person shooter. No longer do you have to have your guns in sight in order to shoot in the direction that you would like.
Cons
Con Uneven graphical fidelity
Some textures are considerably higher quality than others. For example, the cockpit is really low-res, so much so that the needles don't even move, giving a feeling of an unpolished product.
Con Menus are not in VR, so you have to take off the Rift after each race

Con VR support is experimental
As the support is only experimental changing certain settings in-game may crash the game.
Con Unlicensed cars
Con Very little depth
There is not much to do in the game other than shoot robots, it give a Space Invaders type feel, but in VR. This may change in the future since this is an early access game, but currently the game is pretty shallow.
