Michelob ULTRA "Lap of Legends"

THE OBJECTIVE

Win over a new generation of F1 racing fans.

THE INSIGHT

F1 racers used to drive to thrive. Now they drive to survive.

THE WORK

To remind the world of F1 that it’s only worth it if you enjoy it, we created the first ever real-vs.-virtual F1 race and aired it on live TV. We put drivers on the track against augmented reality avatars of their retired F1 heroes; heroes who taught them the joy of racing before F1 got so serious.
