Team Works Production Madrid commercial production

In association with Only 925, Team Works recently put together a new spot for Repsol that features three racing drivers from the Repsol Team driving at top speed as an infinite chorus of tenors sings 'Gloria!'

The complicated film was shot over three days on an experimental race track, with 500 extras, a scorpio crane and a camera car, not to mention tons and tons of chroma key.

The result? A number of action-filled films that take the audience as close to the excitement and glory of racing as they can possibly get.
