Pros
Pro Low resolution of the game helps VR immersion
Due to Rift not having high resolution capabilities (as compared to a monitor), the game with its dated graphics just naturally translates better for playing on the headset.
Pro Well-balanced sim-cadey handling

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.
Cons
Con In VR skybox moves with head movements
Can be fixed with high resolution texture packs that replace 2D sprites with 3D models.
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.
