Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant tried his hand at virtual racing on Thursday when he competed in the Red Bull Homestretch All-Star race.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff was scheduled to participate but was unable to make it online.

The event pits real-world drivers from organizations like IndyCar, rallycar and motocross against athletes, celebrities, media personalities and other non-racers as they go head to head in Gran Turismo Sport.

Thursday marked the first of six scheduled races happening each week through June 18.

Bryant and Goff weren't going up against each other.
