He recently gave a tour of the MTC as an animated character in partnership with ROBLOX. Norris was very excited to see himself as an animated character on the screen.

” We’re in the entrance to MTC. A little look around where all the skywalkers were with us at the reception area. Guessing this is where the car is gonna go when it’s released.

I think this is the first time I’ve seen MTC within a game where you actually gotta go. Going for the best view in the house here now. Oh, look at this,” said Norris while giving the tour.

“It’s definitely a big opportunity. As a driver, personally, there’s going to be a big opportunity, and to come out of the blocks strong will always be a good thing, especially when, or if, you’re going to have to change your driving style and so on,” said Norris.

“Potentially you could probably make a bigger difference than you could in previous years if you understand how to drive the car and so on. So definitely a big opportunity for us as drivers, rather than just the car being the opportunity for us to make the most of it,” said Lando.
