    +1, I'm really curious on how they made some of the scenes, did Ferrari / Shell just bribe the city with a ton of cash to close down some streets?

    Does any one have the link for the video where a small car starts around the track, then a different car, then I think a race car, minutes later, and the race car gets to the end first? I love that video.

    Possibly the coolest commercial I have ever seen.

    You can download a hi-res version on the shell site too.

    Can anyone identify the specific years that those cars are from? It's interesting to compare the sounds of the cars -- I think I like the third one best, which I think is around ~1970 (?). I definitely prefer that sound to the super-high-pitched scream of the modern cars.

    Too bad for us that in the late 70's and 80's, Ferrari had Agip sponsorship. Would have been nice to see some of those cars in a piece like this...
