Castrol EDGE has unveiled the spectacular Titanium Trials racetrack -- complete with hundreds of beams of lasers -- to challenge its sponsored roster of drivers. The 'Titanium' trial comprises hundreds of beams of light designed by Marshmallow Laser Feast.
At each stage of the futuristic course, the Castrol EDGE 'Blackout' roster -- which includes Gymkhana star Ken Block, Lamborghini Squadra Corse test driver Adrian Zaugg and DTM drivers Augusto Farfus from BMW and Mike Rockenfeller of Audi -- take on a series of light obstacles. These include a laser tunnel, laser drift, slalom and a laser box. At all times, the drivers are challenged to push their cars to the limit while taking on the lights.
