the latest BBC F1 trailer - anyone know where some of those segments were filmed ?

[skeggysteve]

The BBC F1 webpage did have a video of the making of it and I think they said South Africa somewhere.

[Bonnie and Clyde]

I cant find the advert on you tube. Does anyone have a link please

drifting an F1 cars, now that takes some skill

Having watched the trailer, it would also imply that they have brought back The Chain as the theme music.

Not what I would call drifting, nor what I would call an F1 car, so you can guess what I am going to say about it taking some skill.

Overall a pretty stty ad IMO. Good news about the Chain though!

Yes you are right, doesn't make it drifting or an actual F1 car though does it? Nor does your name make you a real Ninja.

Locally sourced racing cars made up to look like F1 cars.

Filmed in South Africa.

BBC says so

And not one shot showing the cars travelling in excess of 25mph

I think this trailer is total crap, and no doubt a massive waste of our cash too.

Why not do a "chain" trailer with famous F1 drivers and cars from the last 30 years say, seemlessly morphed together in the form of a race, from Jame Hunt in 1977, to LH in 2008, all moprhed together like they are in the same race......

Now that would have been cool and a lot nicer to watch than this utter rubbish they shot. About as much imagination as a ...well BBC production team.....!

Absolutely right. There was no sensation of speed at all. Good grief. Looked like an episode of C.H.I.P.S

Probably couldn't get the footage from ITV!

[Beyond Rational]

That was pretty dire.

I think the film makers had no interest in F1 at all.

[hornetrider]

Doesn't bode well for the BBC coverage, does it? I get the feeling it will be mightily dumbed down.

I totally agree with number one.

Great to hear that old tune again.

There's another video on their site.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula...

Shows a montage type clip. They have udes Murray and Martins and Ted (allon BBC payroll now) ommentary over footage from IV's time, but used Leggard 5 Live when it's something James Allen would have said.

Basically that video was just a little advert to tell the hardcore fans that they will be dumbing it down. I seriously expect the first show to explain the sport as if it's been dropped from Mars and completely new to anybody in the UK.
