    I found a little nugget in the official Hungarian GP racing guide: A CD from Shell with a commercial on it called "The Circuit". It is absolutely awesome: Ferrari F1 race cars from all decades thunder on public streets through various cities around the globe. Stunning fotography and awesome soundtrack. There is Chris Amon's Ferrari (the one with the snake exhaust) screaming down Broadway in NY and Eddie Irvine's car around the beaches in Rio to name a couple.

    If you ever get a chance to find a copy of this, get it.

    Uh...is this any different than the Shell commercial that's been posted a lot here? Rome, NY, Rio, Hong Kong, etc.

    Oops, I guess not. I haven't seen those post, sorry for the repost.

    It's still really really cool. I thought it was stickied in one of the sections.

    Wow, I can't believe you haven't seen the 9 or 10 threads about the commercial.

    Never seen that subforum. Funny.

    I'm somewhat surprised to have brought up something apparently that well known: I read a lot of Ferrari related magazines, but never ever found any mention on this. But I'm glad you guys know it, because I think it is one of the best pieces of video ever shot about any Ferraris. Also I hope you have seen it in the "uncut" version, which has a soundtrack that is miles better than the edited version. Also the story is better.

    You're right--it's brilliant. I just wish they included cars from the later 70's and into the 80's. They kind of leap over about 35 years. I guess those were the Agip years:)

    And you're right, those were the Agip years.

    BTW: Not totally sure on this, but I think a Shell sticker was one of/the first ever form of advertisement on any F1 car.
