Formula One racing has announced a partnership with virtual reality provider The Dream VR to build a new 360-degree Formula One virtual reality channel inside the company’s platform. The channel will utilize 360-degree VR to provide fans with immersive views of various on-site locations during live races.
Upon initial launch of F1’s channel, users will experience behind-the-scenes footage of Lewis Hamilton winning the 2018 Mexican Grand Prix, which took place in October. Additional content from the final few races of the 2018 season will also be provided, including material from the season-finale Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. For the 2019 season, the channel will expand to include VR-enabled content from 10 races.
