The E-dimensional 3D glasses (http://www.edimensional.com) are arguably the
best of the "affordable crop" at the moment. They have recently received
mostly favourable reviews in this forum -- do a google search for "E-
dimensional" on recent posts!
Didn't read the last bit carefully! The E-dimensional glasses are "shutter-
type", which means the image is still generated by your CRT monitor. Thus,
no help with viewing what's going on around you...

Everything is 3D, but the***pit is a large proportion of the screen, and
very closeby. So the depth effect of the rest is not that much in
comparison. But it is all 3D.

Well the 3D stereo certainly looks more impressive and would be easier
perhaps for someone who is new to the game, but the normal image gives you
enough information with the size of the cars (smaller=farther away),
position relative to the surroundings and such.
If you want to judge distance or speed of cars far away, you need the
highest resolution you can get.

Sometimes I like to drive with the added thrill of 3D, running low
resolution/high refresh rate. Sometimes I prefer to race with maxed-out
resolution and detail instead. (Sadly, F1 2002 has a very stupid and
cumbersome method for changing screen modes :/ )
