Vodafone has launched ‘Take the Wheel’ – the world’s first multiplayer motor racing game on Web AR – at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2021.
Created in partnership with the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team, ‘Take the Wheel’ puts you in the driver’s seat of the Porsche 99x Electric vehicle through innovative, connected technology. Visitors to the Vodafone SPEED Hub at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed can race against a friend or family member or be set up with an opponent to experience the future of sustainable motorsport. They could also win a prize by sharing their score on social media using #TogetherWeCan.
