The best part is the 312 B2!

There's a Shell ad from the USA that features Ferrari's from the 50's up to 2007 which is excellent.

On the tv here they only showed a shortened version. The extended version was nice

I agree that both the Shell advert (F1 Ferraris through the history of F1 driving through cities) and the Mercedes advert (Alonso, Hamilton & a cameo from Hakkinen) from 2007 were both excellent. My favorite dodgey F1 releated advert had to be the Braun electric razor advert from the early 90s featuring Stefano Modena and Satoru Nakajima, who both drove for Tyrell when they were sponsored by Braun. Though Schumi being "worth it" for Loreal was pretty damn bad too.

There was a Shell advert from 1996 with Eddie Irvine & Jean Todt that I remember (from Eurosport, I think).

James Hunt did one for the Vauxhall Chevette in 1977 on British TV. God knows how you'd find that.

Besides which, I think I'm showing my age by remembering that.

I recall Damon Hill & Muddly Talker did a Pizza Hut advert. Mansell was in an advert with other motorsport stars, but I can't recall the product. I remember it involved speed walking.....

Chevette

My god, the old Vauxhall shove-it was a hateful car..... my group of friends when I was at college used to take it in turns to drive to the local Ice Rink, one girl had a shove-it, be lucky if it got above 40......

Some brilliant adverts, especially SeatFreak's one? I wonder when that was filmed?!

The fact Fernando and Lewis go to a Hilton hotel doesn't help.

Have you the faintest idea how many Hilton Hotels their is?! Thousands! It really is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I have however send a queery to the hotel chain asking them which hotel in the chain the advert for Mercedes featuring Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton was shot at. So I should get some feedback very soon.

The license plate says FAG @ 0.2 seconds.

I put the volume right up, but I could not hear the number plate saying anything.......

You obviously haven't seen the Chevette driven by Pentti, now that was a good car!!

Do you also ask them when?
