Filming the GT4 T.V. ad

liquidyellow
One of the writers has a drift car with massive GT4 decals all over it. Some guys get all the breaks. :grumpy:
Yup. I also noticed in last month's evo that Richard Meaden's 200SX was sponsored by GT4.

Here it is:

I wonder if the Monaro they used was an actual Holden, or if it was the Opel/Vauxhall version...


I would say it would almost be certain that Holden are in GT4 - i would have thought, since the ad is filmed in Portugal, that it would have been much easyer to have got hold of a Vauxhall or Opel Monaro than the Holden badged version they actually used.
 
I think the 2003 Hockenheim drift Challenge and Competition was sponsored or sth. like that by GT4.... :scared:

PS: The photos were NOT taken at Hockenheim, but at some slalom races i go to ( the driver of teh M5 is from our slalom team) 👍

Got an idea where i can post some 250-300 kb photos ?? Thanks 👍

Damn they're a bit wide :crazy: :yuck: Hope I didn't ruin the LOOK of this thread :guilty:
 
Is this a M5?
because I saw the similar trim from a magazine over 10 years ago
the one I saw on magazine was in ocean blue
 
Yes, it's a M5, 1995 i think with Nürburgring suspension (i think it's one of the last ever made)....... The front grill is wider than usual (from 5 Series Touring or from 540i )

About the colour, i have to ask him i guess

PS: The similar trim you mean with black lights front and rear, right??
PS2: It's German spec, if it helps. Straight-6 3.8L with 340hp and 6speed 👍

I don't supose you have any other pix of that Castrol coloured (green&red) Mk1 Escort (in the background of this pic) in do you???

My dad used to race a MK1 Escort with the bubble arches and spoilers in the 70's. The bloke he sold it to had it painted in those Castrol/Zakspeed colours - but then sold it a couple of seasons latter and we lost track of it. It would be great if i knew it was still around and been used.

Of course I do, i have like 4 pics of it, but they're as big as the M5 ones and i don't know if I'm allowed to go that off-topic. :(

EDIT: Sent you a PM 👍
 
I don't know when the actual commercial will appear on TV but I was there during the commercial. The were so amazing cars there! And the TV ad is going to be great. ;) I have some photos... If you want me to post them maybe I will. ;)

Sure, that'd be cool! 👍

Why were you there at the time, did you know that the commercial was to be made, or was it just a lucky incident?

How did you end up being in the commercial?

Nice pics by the way.
 
GT-One Lover
who would win?
--->VW W12 Nardo: 600hp, 1400kg, very streamline-design!!
--->Ford GT: 550hp, 1500kg, also very good design but cuz the GT´s short it´s not that "streamline"
...i think the GT would do though it has more weight!!!


correcting you, the W12 nardo has 600 hps and around 1200 kgs

How did you know about the shooting in Estoril and how did you end up in the commercial itself?


O/T: É sempre bom ver mais um Lusitano por aqui. ;)
 
Prophecy- You are the envy of us all! Thanks for the pics, very good for a cell phone. Please tell us more about this commercial and how exactly you were involved, we could definitely use some interesting posts to read around here.
