    Ferrari to close down London!

    The City of London is to be closed down next month to allow Shell to film a new TV commercial to promote its long-standing sponsorship of the Ferrari F1 team. The advertisement, which is reputed to be the world's most expensive, with a production budget close to £2m, will see Ferrari F1 cars racing through a selection of the world's most famous cities including London, New York and Sydney in order to promote Shell's V-Power high-performance fuel.

    Missed that, sorry.

    Myself as well. My concern is they'll film a bit in London and CGI Manhattan around some of that.

    Yeah, that would suck. Although, I figure if they're making the effort to get all the way to Sydney to film, NYC shouldn't be out of the question.

    Absolutely.

    Although they could have filmed it in downtown Detroit without closing anything down.

    I didn't see London in the film. I thought it was cancelled because the news was leaked. :? :?

    I saw Sydney in the part where the car is on a raised highway running along the ocean. That's a new road south of the city near the Royal National Park... not exactly downtown Sydney, but nearby.
