Yes, because commercials are filmed in just one continious take and there's never been a scene where the car being filmed cuts in front of the camera car out of nowhere...
I swear, today's kids have zero imagination!!

You're right, this is silly. We're just gonna disagree on this one I guess..
 
I'm not trying to make a big deal, honestly.

It's just I don't see what they'd be using for the commercial. They never seem to be filming anything, just driving around the track.

There's only 1 car in one of the pictures near any of the camera cars.

And it's in the opposite direction of the camera, far behind. Furthermore, it's covered in some black thing. I don't know why they'd be filming that.

I'm sorry, it's just I don't see it being a commercial.

I've seen plenty of tire commercials that have no car on picture. What they have instead is a video of a something similar to a bumper view of a car, hitting an apex of a turn. Usually at a race track I might add.
 
I wasn't expected the heated debate, so I just want to reiterate that I personally have no idea what's actually occurring in the photos, and that I highly doubt it's PD. Hence, why I stated that you should take the OP with a grain of salt.

It is a lot more likely to be a commercial KinLM, there have been quite a few of them filmed over the last few years at Barber notably Porsche, Hyundai and Ford Commercials. Speaking of Porsche, when I first looked at the pic's here I instantly thought of this.

This one is a chase car pictured at Willow Springs belongs to chasecar inc. Ain't she pretty!

The price of this equipment is in the hundreds of thousands WITHOUT the car so renting it plus operators is not going to be cheap. Then you would have to ask yourself how much use would it be in gathering reference to work with as it is designed to chase moving vehicles and keep the camera extremely steady whilst doing a whole other host of maneuvers. What would it bring to the table that the cameras PD researchers would already be taking?
 
When you hear hooves, think horses, not zebras.

Zebras might be cooler, but it probably isn't.
 
Images of my home doesn't even exist, because it's newer (less than 1 year). Though, if you look at the right bottom corner, on the 3rd picture, it says "Imagery ©2013 Google". I'm pretty sure, that means the pictures taken inside the last 4 months. I think you can find the exact date in Google Earth.

After a closer look, I can tell, that I was incorrect, and (all of) the pictures are (most likely) from 2011.

The images around Spa Francorchamps are copyright 2012 but quite clearly they're from 2006 when the circuit was redeveloped.

EDIT: Just seen your post above. Yeah clearly these are older photos, also remember they're stitched together and they overlap so just because a car isn't always seen in each shot doesn't mean it wasn't there. The shot of the pit lane is quite clear though, camera car coming out with a car behind it. Then the camera car appears again at the exit of the pit but the car isn't there, probably because of overlap.

Suffice to say I'm pretty certain that isn't PD.
