Live For Speed in Intel Advert

[ATHome]

This evening I was at the cinema and before the film started there was a advert from Intel (Centrino Duo) in which I thought I saw Live For Speed for a short time (about 1 or 2 seconds)

In this advert a guy sits on one of those luggage trolleys at the airport and playing on his laptop and racing through the airport in his trolley.

Looked like it was Blackwood, before the big advert tyre. But instead of showing Evostar tyres it showed www.liveforspeed.net. And the car I think was an FO8 or an FOX, but definitely an formula car.

Maybe I just hallucinated, but I think it was LFS.:Looking_a

Would be cool to have an word from Vic or Scawen to proof what I've seen. :smileypul

[Tweaker]

What the hell? Absolutely positive you saw that? :wtf2:

/me searches and finds nothing

Maybe it is some kind of connection with Intel now, and that is the surprise Scawen has :D

[ATHome]

I am pretty sure, as I've kind of "calibrated" to the domain and the looks of LFS.

Not 100% sure, as it was a really short time you saw the display but I'm about 90% sure ;)

I think this might be possible, as intel sponsors the ePs in some kind of way.

Hmmm check this out....

Apparently some new Intel ads are to come out for their "Entertainment in your lap" campaign for their Centrino Duo....

The three new TV spots star Mariah Carey, Elijah Woods and Jacques Villeneuve and will air on EPSN and E! Online ads will run on Yahoo and AOL. Jacques Villeneuve is also one of the drivers for BMW Sauber F1 Team, in which Intel is the 'Official Corporate Partner' for the team.

Was he in the scene?

[joshdifabio]

I don't think the Villenueve advert features any racing sim/game does it?

[Tweaker]

I don't know, never seen it :) I cannot find it online anywhere. Maybe it will show up somewhere on Youtube or Google Video someday.

[Tweaker]

Because Intel and BMW Sauber F1 Team are partners.... big big partners.

[JJ72]

It is kind of funny to see him actually doing these monkey tricks :D So cute.

[BuddhaBing]

Villeneuve used to do Honda ads -- here in Canada, at least -- when he was with BAR-Honda.

Yes, that intel spot is only for cinema, it is in germany only afaik, and that part in it is LFS. I had something to do with the creation of that spot ;)
It's the F08 @ BL

Give us some more information how you arranged this???! For 90% of cinema visitors it's just a detail but if you managed to get in the Intel advertising headquarters and sneak Live for Speed in there it's quite an accomplish. Great work :thumb:Can we expect any more Intel - LfS surpises? Hope it's not a Intel Inside logo as intro for the game ;)

no, afaik, no more intel-LFS surprises. Well, as already guessed up there, it is cause the ESL has that EPS with LFS (www.esl-europe.net) and the ESL is sponsored big by intel. And intel cant take CounterStrike or so for a spot. And cause they sponsor BMW F1 now, they wanted some racegame ingame footage with a aformula car. F08 was the way to go then ;) So they asked me (I have "some" connections there), if I can help with some footage, ask Devs for OK etc., and thanx to several buddies we created some overtaking maneuvres etc. I helped with some updates on the trackside logos and the liveforspeed url in there I am very happy of, cause that was, what I wanted ;) That's basically all about it.

[foofighter]

well done vykos ! but lucky enough that they didnt want a F1 track too :thumb:

One day Bernie Eccelstone needs a successor, may be we should bring vykos in pole position for something like this :x :shrug:

That's what I've meant with "calibrated" to LFS :D

YEAH! Thanx for finding it!

[afastest]

The clip is very short, but we can see liveforspeed.net clearly. I wonder how many people will get to typing the address in browser.

[Vain]

Zero.

Pause it at just the right moment, and it's quite scary. Probably a joke by Vykos :p

[Tweaker]

lol no teasing!

Here is what is shown, just so you guys can see. This is right as the motion starts, it lasts for about a second, and the LFS url comes into view quite big and fills the screen as the car comes moves towards it.

:thumb: Cool Vykos :)

[ButterTyres]

I didnt believe you there Tweaker so did it again myself, even though I had done it before and missed it. Your right its LFS alright! Thats pretty cool.

[Matrixi]

Short but cool, good job as I already said in IRC :thumb:

[Hyperactive]

[bbman]

Yeah, when I saw the picture, first thing I thought was: "How the hell would he drive this with keyboard?" :D

Maybe I had too much LfS lately... :D

[hrtburnout]

'Enjoy the sublime grunt of an F1 engine in this cinema soundcheck-style video brought to you in glorious Dolby* Surround sound' Haha!

[Stellios]
