YouTube Description:
With the help of Formula D pro driver and drift specialist Dai Yoshihara, the Motor Trend team sets out to pull off a one-of-a-kind photo shoot. Working at night on a huge expanse of tarmac under towering floodlights, the pro driver dances the GoPro GTI across the open course, executing carefully choreographed maneuvers and high-speed acrobatics. Working with the MT photography team, the driver practices his marks until its just right, then... the flood lights switch off! Total darkness, except for a bright light mounted atop the rear spoiler of the GTI. Our driver then repeats his perfected maneuvers in the dark, while Motor Trend Director of Photography, Brian Vance, sits high atop the action -- capturing a one-of-a-kind long exposure photo of the GTI literally painting a huge "GTI" below in arcs of light!

EvilDeathBeesays...1 GTI, 100 GoPro cameras, 100+ hours of footage for.... what? Something that could have been literally done in 5 seconds in photoshop? I love me some VW GTI but jesus, what a waste of time for everyone involved
Jinxsays...Loved that fake ass app they had on that tablet for controlling the light on the car. Way to treat your audience like idiots, idiots.
newtboyjokingly says...All that, and they wrote GTI in different size misshapen letters? Lame.
testytester77770says...100 GoPro cameras? I only counted about 3 camera shots from the car. "Go DARK!" Go away!
Someone should be doing a parody of this kind of stuff...maybe this is it.
