Yes ! - Well spotted Ron.
It is a GT40 chassis. We are using the same chassis as the 30x odd GT40's chassis's already built. These cars have proved to be of such good design we didnt change anything other than the wheelbase and body mounts for our Pantera Replica. ( I have just got back from a film shoot down in Cape Town with 2x GT 40's 'dicing' each other along a magnificent winding sea-lined road. We used a two-stage jet turbine minature remote-controlled helicopter for a fast ( +-180klms.hr.) 3 axis camera platform to film from, - got footage that Ive never been to achieve before, shooting car commercials over the years out of conventional (read: expensive ) choppers....this little baby flys with the cars, over the cars, thru and around telegraph poles, down tunnels etc. - giving us footage unseen before. The one GT40 driver complained about getting "a hot ear full" from the jet exhaust blast of the tiny chopper flying next to him....we had the side window off because of the hot day...) Fun & games......cheers 'HawkEye.'quote:Comments
How can we see this footage? I would kill to see it!
Ron. Tai here. The Gt40 "Car Chase" footage is part of a 3min music video,- we had the Press Preview last nite in fact,- which would proberly be to long to run on this forum. I will try re- edite it and 'cut out' the car stuff and post that... bear with me, it might take a while. The footage is absolutely fabulous... we go into production of the 'real' movie,- the feature film for release world-wide next month...the movie is all about kids involved with extreme sports and street racing etc set in & around Cape Town.....( we will be using these Jet turbine, remote choppers thru out the filming to get us the shots I want....)
Later.
