Insane Drifts Around The Nordschleife With Mixed Reality

Marcel Pfister is back to iRacing for a spectacular new edition of his “Mixed Reality” video series.

In the new video, Marcel shows off a rather unusual combination you wouldn’t see in real life all that often, taking the Ford Focus Rallycross car onto Germany’s legendary N??rburgring Nordschleife for plenty of sideways action.

As usual, Marcel keeps on striving to improve his production values, adding in external views of his most spectacular scenes as well.

What is Mixed Reality?

It??s a way to record and show game play to serve a better understanding of how it feels to use Virtual Reality. It uses a green screen to later blend out the room you are playing in and instead blending in the virtual environment life or in video editing. So it??s only a way to show to the viewers, while playing i can??t see my wheel and real hands. So it??s not like Augmented Reality, which will maybe come in a few years and will look similar.
