Castrol’s latest stunt turns two race cars into VR controllers

Share

Motor oil maker Castrol has a weird obsession with virtual reality as a marketing tactic, but at least it yields some pretty interesting videos. Earlier this year, the company dropped an Oculus Rift helmet on a race-car driver as he sped around a real-life track, turning his Roush Stage 3 Mustang into a glorified VR controller. If the idea of driving a real-life race car around a track while completely blind isn’t terrifying enough, Castrol’s back with a new video that pits two virtual racers against each other.
