Again: Not selling, communicating. This was more about showing the guys who have already purchased, or are following us anyway. Basically the way the timing works, if it wasn't done this way, I'd be posting screenshots after you are.
Worth remembering that the majority of the in-car filming was done in F2 cars, being driven by actors, too.
First impressions can be done only once so it's always good to show photos in as best quality as possible Anyway, can't wait to drive on Monza
Still, they were captured from the product. Changing the time of day to find better lighting, etc, feels like a bending of the truth somewhat. It is also important their first impression is not unrealistic in expectation, either. We're happily understated.
OT with Monza, but i posted few days ago in the italian subforum, an "ante litteram backstage video" of the movie. http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/1137-Promo-video-Grand-Prix?p=68632&viewfull=1#post68632
Nah not from that close unfortunately but could hear the echo whilst I was hovering around the Ascari entry (grandstand). Later on went to the other Ascari grandstand so had the view of the cars flying under the overpass into and out of Ascari. Did that for half of FP1 and FP2. Would love to see your video mate. The only bit of action I managed to capture was Gutierrez's crash from GP2 quali later in the arvo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XYh_lHdR3w
Most of them that you do see twitch is due to taking a little bit too much inside kerb which unsettles the car, you can see them jump slightly if you focus on the inside kerb. Gutierrez clobbers it and the car jumps substantially more than the others so it's no surprise he loses it in a big way. Besides Esteban, it's really impressive to see how they catch the cars on such a high speed corner. Reaction time is mega!
Own physics. All the current ones have slightly different physics too though, you do know that right?
Off topic folks but I hope you enjoy. https://vimeo.com/16641690 password = banking This is lap 1 followed by lap 2, 3 and 4 edited to look like one lap. I never wear hearing protection at races. But this was earslitting, I mean like painful. I had to put spit wads in my ears before the second lap! The cars stir up a wind and it's filled with exhuast fumes. Freakin' orgasmic! This is 2011 GP. Is that when you were there?
Great news One question though. Does this have the proper historic layout or the modern chicanes like in the rf1 version? Hoping for the proper historic myself.
Whew! I was horrified for a minute wondering if people had only tried one car thinking they were all the same.
Spectacular video mate, awesome stuff. I used to not wear ear plugs especially back in the turbo era but these days my ears are too sensitive and as you said the sound is actually painful. Yep, I was at Monza for the 2011 Grand Prix (sitting at Rettifilo for race day, we all went nuts when Alonso took the lead off the start!). Also was at Monza in 1982 when Mario took pole in the #27. Emotional weekend that one.
This is why I forked out for lifetime. Thank you ISI & thanks for the original pictures and videos everyone! It's my birthday in a coupla days, I'm not askin, but I'm wonderin.... *scratches chin... ^^
