What do you get when you bring together Ken Block, three of his friends, and a bunch of supercars on one track? Aside from quite possibly the greatest exhaust note and tire squeal symphony imaginable – you get the Castrol Blackout Trials.

Castrol has pitted Ken Block, Adrian Zaugg, Mike Rockenfeller, and Augusto Farfus in a race against the lights, literally. Block and the boys will have to work together to conquer an ever-changing street circuit made up of lasers and blinding beams of light. It's a tall order, but luckily the guys brought just the right cars for the job. 

Block, of course, will be in his legendary Ford Fiesta RX43 rally car, with the rest of the gang springing for the Lamborghini Aventador, Audi R8, and BMW M4. Not a bad lineup, eh?

Blackout goes live on May 27. Check out the automotive porn above and below to get your fix, and click here to meet the drivers.
