crispy Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qT_q8PXFrw Must click the link for goosebumps.... A month long commercial shoot involving Ferrari and Shell. A fitting Tribute to Ferrari from Shell as it is the marque's 60th year. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ismaelg Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 This is what I think they are: BUT there is no accuracy guarantee written or implied The first one: I think it is a Ferrari 500/125 from 1951 The second one looks like a F1 512 from 1965 Third one is a 1970 312B (IMO, the 312 both the F1 and the 312 PB World sports Car championship racer had one of the best sounding engine in car history) The next one (in Rio de Janeiro Brasil) looks like a '97 310 or a '98 300 (square side intakes) Then there's a quick glimpse of what I think is an F-2004 (side pods) in the Grand Hotel hairpin in Monaco, setting off the alarm of a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, and the last one in the gas station has me puzzled. It looks like a 2004 or 2005 but I think it is NOT a 2006, (again side pods). I don't think it is the same as the one shown around Monaco, because the Monaco one has a big Vodafone decal on the side and the front wing is different. But the video is quite fast so it is hard to tell for sure. Great commercial by the way! Love the sound.... Is it possible to download and save a youTube video?

ismaelg Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 By the way, I found a video of the making of that commercial: The last part of that video is the best. Again great sound. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zebm1 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hey, hey, don't yall know that those Europeans luv their Formula racers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 The second car is what I think of when I hear formula 1 or Indy car racing. Maybe because that is what I saw growing up or the influence of my father(wanted to drive formula V for years), but those 'missle' cars will always be my favorite. Probably why I have 6 or 7 of the olsonite eagles and such in my stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Madlinger Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 I was trying to figure out who the drivers of the historical cars were. The dark blue helmet with the white stripe around the visor is Jacky Ickx. The white helmet with the small blue stripes - Chris Amon or John Surtees? Any more help would be appreciated.

Yad' Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 From an online source it appears all the driving was done by current Ferrari test drivers, all except the Australian one I think which was performed by a private individual - perhaps it was his car used in the commercial? I'm guessing that any helmet liverys were coincidental or perhaps a "nod" to the era and heritage of Ferrari racing?? Andi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
