Late 90's McLaren advert
Discussion
When McLaren/Häkkinen were on their winning streak in 98/99, I recall (I think) an advert for the McLaren team being broadcast. Basically it was made of a few quote (by Ron?) stating how technical/awesome/professional the team was, such as...
"Refuse to compromise."
"Then start again"
"Because we can."
etc. etc.
I've had a look on youtube/google etc. but no luck
Did this exist at all or did I just completely make this up?

Good find! Didn't realise/remember if it was in connection with another company, or the golf theme
I was involved in this commercial and it took three days to film everything and Ron was only interested in doing 30 minutes in total. The scene with all of the lights was shot in the McLaren 'presentation suite', and the car was a showcar....once people saw it he rather enjoyed the compliments, the DHL one was a better ad. Why was I involved, I was the account manager for Siemens at McLaren....

And I am in that very building as I type (tea/dinner break), its changed a lot, but also is still very much the same as in the video.belleair302 said:
Ahh the joys of Albert Drive, and Genesis Park across the road. Are the GT cars being serviced there today in Unit 22?
A new road in/out makes it a lot better, but the area itself is .... , McLaren has nothing in Genesis anymore, serviced/updated/new builds = very busyGassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
