To promote the all-new EDGE motor oil lineup utilizing a special ingredient dubbed Titanium FST, Castrol set up a circuit inspired by the sci-fi blockbuster Tron: Legacy, which has been tackled by a team of world-class racing drivers in cars churning out over 2,000 hp in total.

Even though it falls short on the excitement offered by Ken Block's Gymkhana videos, the British automotive lubricants company doesn't fail to offer proper entertainment tailored for us petrolheads. The four-wheel stars are Block's GRC Ford Fiesta rally car, Farfus' BMW M4 super coupe, Zaugg's 700 hp Lamborghini Aventador and Rockenfeller's Audi R8 supercar.

Nice rides and talented drivers aside, the unusual circuit which is the centerpiece of the video you're about to watch features segments such as a laser tunnel, laser skidpad, a slalom course, powder wall, a drift jump section, as well as a figure 8 laser box portion. Needless to say, you're in for a really special and wild ride.

Scroll down and press play to immerse yourself in a world of sci-fi lasers, horsepower and smoking tires.
