Why wouldn't it be real?

 

[ShiWarrior]

so your saying this really did happen ?
not super imposed ?
car there, but not really in "new york"

I'm amazed then

 

[Kenai]

Have you never seen a publicity video like this before?

It's all organised, they close a few streets etc., it's not like the team just rocked up with an F1 car and drove off into traffic.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnobz6cDt7I - there's some 'behind the scenes' clips.

 

[ShiWarrior]

nope i haven't

well actually i have, Chris Froome rode his bike through to France through the channel

Most teams do things like this and roll the v10 / v12 cars out as the noise bounces off the buildings and make it even louder

 

[Rroff]

It isn't even going that fast mostly - just use of camera tricks and noise to give the impression.

You can also see all the police cars where the roads have been closed in the wider shots.

They probably filmed all that over the course of a couple of days, if that. Most of those shots were on quieter, out of the way streets with a few exceptions.

First thing that comes to mind is he probably hates that drive, the amount of bouncing and bumping while the car is going along is unreal. He'll be complaining of whiplash lol

 

[Feek]

The behind the scenes video posted sounds pretty good with that engine echoing off the buildings. Shame it wasn't a V10 though, that would have been even better.

Probably no worse than the porpoising nowadays

 

[Slackworth]

Imagine doing this round some backroads in somewhere like London....5 minutes in "We've reached a speed hump and can't go any further without trashing the front wing"

"Errrrrrrrr"

 

[Bald-Eagle22]

Porpoiseing is real bad on that track .

1.51 was that George and Lewis in those taxis

Whether you like them or not RB make some great PR videos.

Red Bull have done lots of great publicity videos, they're always good to watch. Some of their MTB and BMX stuff is excellent too, all round high production content.

Not sure he ever broke the speed limit or reached anywhere near the revs the sounds made out. But fun to see.

exactly, its all made cleverly, he wouldn't be about to reach those speeds etc, if you watch the "how it was made" other video, you get the idea
