Off-road racing is amazing to watch at Ultra4 events such as King of The Hammers, but very few us ever get to know what it's like to race across varied terrain and leap boulders like they're mere bumps in the road. That's all about to change. Strap yourself in shotgun next to two-time "King" Shannon Campbell as he propels us through the race course during Ultra4's 4 Wheel Parts Glen Helen Grand Prix in this virtual reality 360 degree video.   This first-time 360 degree off-road driving experience brought to you by Nitto Tire is created using a multi-camera custom rig which records in every direction. While you can simply watch it from any Android device's screen and click in different directions (or simply move the screen if you're on mobile/tablet) - Google Cardboard lets you experience virtual reality in a simple and fun way. Follow the simple steps below for an even more immersive experience or scroll down to simply brace yourself and click-to-play the 360 degree video!
