What a commercial this is:

I love the old F1 cars from the 1960's.

Makes me want to dust off GP Legends.

THis was posted here a while back. The reason it was posted was that it ranks as one of the most expensive commercials ever run.

I love it! F1 was at its best during the Jack Brabham and Dan Gurney days.

Check this link to read an excellent sort of diary that Brabham wrote during the 65 season. http://fp.gplegends.plus.com/articles/JB1.htm He was such a cool guy!

Alternate version:

Those engine sounds are great. Gets my heart pumping hearing those incredible RPMs.

Nice one Camaero. Music to the ears.

I might agree, except my love goes back even further than that. The first car is a 500 from the heyday of Ferrari's first World Champion, Alberto Ascari, 1952. There is a brief shot from the cockpit edge of a 1955 Lancia-Ferrari D50A, as well as a 1958 246 like the one Mike Hawthorn drove.

I love that ad!
