McLaren F1 team launches VR headset with games

mclaren-formula-1-team-and-htcMcLaren and HTC kicked off their partnership in May this year and on Friday revealed a limited-edition HTC VIVE Pro device ahead of this weekend’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

A custom rFactor 2-based version of McLaren sim racing has been produced that will enable users to race classic cars from the British team’s history.

There is also a simulation game where players can be part of the McLaren pit crew, and this includes a ‘pitstop challenge’ that is multiplayer.

Alvin Wang Graylin, HTC’s China president, said the intention was to give fans a “unique experience that can’t be had watching on television”.
