F1, Close Up
This is our F1 video "F1, Close Up". We tried using our close up cam to get you the details in the paddocks and technical closeups of the Formula cars... but failed horribly! This has happened before, those that know Pcmtl from the oldschool photo days will remember how we really suck at getting close to cars... people always get in the way and ruin the shot. At least enjoy the part where the bus almost runs over Jacques Villeneuve. And really, no animals were harmed in the making of this film.
Today's the big day, bring plenty of water and sunscreen. Don't forget to go to Crescent after if you still have money leftover for beers! I believe today is Porsche day in downtown.
