Several weeks ago, the HPI crew was invited to the McLaren Technical Centre (MTC) to help film a promotional video for the Vodafone McLaren Formula One racing team. We got to work directly with 2008 World Champion Lewis Hamilton and his race strategist, filming in-car footage and provding any assistance that was required during the day.

The Bullet Flux ST was used as the exclusive vehicle for the shoot
because it could provide the speed, control and looks McLaren was
looking for! A variety of actual Formula 1 car parts were used as
obstacles to make the track, including the old style grooved tyres
and wheels, axles, brake ducts, fitted race seats and more - it
made for a great track and a wonderful experience, as we were
surrounded by historic McLaren race and road cars, hundreds of race
trophies and McLaren employees busy building next year's race car!
